Configuring how attribute form and set qualifications are displayed

Before you begin

This topic assumes that you are familiar with filters, especially the different types of filters and the components of filters. For background information, see Filters.

Auto text codes are document or dataset variable information. The filter details auto text code displays the report filter and report limit of the specified dataset report by default, although other types of filters can be displayed. For more information on displaying other types, see Configuring the content of the filter details auto text code.

A filter can contain:

For these types of filters, you can configure how the qualifications are displayed using the following properties:

  •  

  • Use names or symbols for operators: Determines whether names (such as Equals or Greater Than) or symbols (such as = or >) are displayed.

  • Include attribute form names in qualification conditions: For conditions in attribute qualification filters, determines whether or not to display attribute form names (such as DESC or ID).

    An example of displaying the attribute form name:
    (Region (DESC) Begins With "North")


    An example of hiding the attribute form name:
    (Region Begins With "North")
     

  • Dynamic dates: Determines whether dynamic dates are shown as the date or as the expression that calculates the date.

    An example of displaying the date:
    Day (ID) = 10/27/2027


    An example of displaying the expression that calculates the date:
    Day (ID) = Today minus 12 Month(s)

For each property, you can choose to inherit the setting instead. If you are configuring the auto text codes in a specific text field, the setting is inherited from the document setting. If you are configuring all the auto text codes in the document, the setting is inherited from the report setting. For more information on the levels of inheritance, see Levels of auto text code configuration.
