Advanced Filters

As described in Create a new filter, you can find particular records and discrepancies by creating a filter (or using a previously saved one).

The filter panel includes an Advanced Filters field that allows you to use additional filter criteria with operators to build a formula. You can use advanced filters with or without the quick filter fields.

Once you click inside the Advanced Filters field, the text box opens. Click in the text box to select a filter and start building your formula using these guidelines:
  • Use the space bar to open the list of operators, categories, or linking options when building an advanced filter. For drop-down lists, press the space bar to select the first option in the list. If you start typing to build an equation, you see the operator drop-down list highlight options and filter the list based on what you entered. Press the space bar to select what you typed.

    Note:

    The operators depend on the filter you choose. For example, you may see an operator of =, != (not equal to), is empty, or is not empty with one filter category or exactly, before, after, between, is empty, or is not empty with another category. Once you select a filter, operator, and value (if required), you can use the AND or OR linking option to build on the formula.
  • Use single quotes around any alpha characters you manually enter (for example, 'Boston').

    Tip:

    When searching or filtering using string values, we recommend using the contains operator. This is because Oracle DMW allows multiple spaces (such as leading and trailing blank spaces) in data displayed on the Listings and Discrepancies interfaces.
  • Use a comma (outside single quote if quote used) to add multiple entries or a range of numbers. For example, to show a range of 1 to 10, enter 1, 10.
  • Select dates from the pop-up calendar. Click the left (<) or right (>) arrows to move backward or forward through the months. The date appears in the DD-MMM-YYYY format.
  • Click Shows a grey X iconto remove the advanced filter from the formula.
  • Click Shows an X icon to close the Advanced Filters text box.

The following table lists the advanced filters you can use to drill down to the data you need to access:
