Filtering


It is possible to make quick filtering by a specific value, or by blank/non blank field criteria.

To activate quick filter press the button in the upper-right corner of the column header like at the screenshot below.

 

Custom Filter

 

To apply manually defined conditions use the Custom item of the drop-down list.

Pick the logical expression from the lists on the left and define values in the fields on the right. Use the '_' character to represent any single symbol, and use the '%' character to represent any series of symbols in the condition string. Relation between these conditions is defined with RadioButton And/RadioButton Or options.
