A Using Filters

Filters may be applied to VSM GUI data tables to further isolate specific types of information.

The Filter and Reset Filter icons on the toolbar above the data table control filtering:

Icon	Name	Description
	Filter	Filter the data
	Reset filter	Reset the data filter

When you click the Filter icon, a Filter Table dialog is displayed:

Click Match All if you want display candidates to be included only if they match all of the filtering criteria.

Click Match Any if you want display candidates to be included if they match any of the filtering criteria.

Enter filtering criteria in one or more of the displayed data fields.

Note:

By default, filtering identifies data fields that contain the specified filtering criteria. For more complex filtering, the Advanced button opens a dialog to a list of alternate filtering operators.

Click Apply to update the data table with the selected filters.

Click Reset to clear the filters and enter new criteria.

Click OK to close the dialog.

Click the Reset Filter icon on the toolbar above the table to re-display the unfiltered table.

For more complex filtering, click the Advanced button on the dialog:

Select one of the following operators for each data column you want to filter:

• Starts with: Includes only items starting with the entry

• Ends with: Includes only items ending with the entry

• Equals: Includes only items that are identical to the entry

• Does not equal: Includes only items that are not exactly identical to the entry
