(This functionality is available with the Input / Output module)
Filters objects available for export to an XML file.
A filter control will become available if the designer of the style sheet selected for export or reporting has created a user interface that uses a filter control. Refer to the User Interface and Filter Control sections of the LISCADXML Concepts.
The filter control allows for the definition of one or more tests that can be set up to find specific objects. Each test is comprised of one or more conditions. All conditions in a test must be satisfied in order for a test to be "true". If at least one test is found to be "true" the object being tested will be selected.
A Condition consists of three elements:
- An Attribute (e.g. an Object Code, or a Description etc.)
- An Operator (e.g. "=", ">", "<")
- A Bounding Value or Values (e.g. "Code 104")
