Working With Display Filters

Another strength of the User Part Center is the display filter, which allows you to search for cells based on your search criteria. Before the cells are displayed in the selected sorting, the application first checks whether each single cell meets the filter conditions on the basis of its database entries.

You may create logical links between the existing data fields and their contents. There is no limit to the complexity of the query. Different filter combinations can be stored as templates and re-used with different sort settings.

Understanding Boolean Operators

Simple queries consist of only one comparing condition. For example: Hole pattern = 4.

You can, however, link multiple filter conditions together to see the exact data you want. To assist, the application automatically puts condition pairs into brackets when you change the operator. For example, you can create search queries such as (A AND B) OR (A AND C). In this example, A, B and C are variables of simple comparing conditions of data field, operator, and content.

You can manually insert brackets to indicate a condition that is not in a pair. For example: ((A AND B) OR C) AND D.
