Advanced Selection

You can simplify the process of registering or fetching data in all modules by defining a selection. To do this, you define one or more properties which must match the units you want to include in your selection. Read more in Filters.

In the Advanced tab you can combine several different criteria to set more complex, logical filters (Boolean). You are free to set up advanced criteria in combination with fields from the other tabs in the Filter window.

You can set up both linear criteria such as 'A or B', and parenthetical expressions such as 'A or (B and C)'. Filters: Example of an Advanced Selection.

How to make an advanced selection

Open the selection module as described in Filters and select the Advanced tab.
Click New for each criterion you are going to define for the filter. This opens a wizard that will guide you through the process.
Click on the plus sign to the left of the module in which the variable is located.
Select the variable for which you are going to set a criterion.
Click Next.
Choose between and/or as the prefix to the criterion, along with the condition to be fulfilled in the Default tab.
If you wish to start a bracket before or after the criterion, you can do this in the Extended tab.
Click OK, and the criterion will be added to the list.

The criteria has been added to the list.

Repeat the routine for all the criteria that are to make up the requirements for the selection.

You can find an example of an advanced selection in Filters: Example of an Advanced Selection.

In help (F1), you can find more information about the fields in the Default and Extended tabs under advanced selection.
