Connecting conditions and filters

The control connects the filters as follows:

  • AND operation for several requirements within one filter
  • You create, for example, a user-defined filter that contains the requirements R = 8 and L > 150. The control filters the table rows when you activate this filter. The control displays only the table rows that meet both requirements at the same time.

  • OR operation between filters of the same filter groups
  • When you activate the default filters Drills and Taps, for example, the control filters the table rows. The control displays only the table rows that meet at least one of the conditions. The table row must contain either a drill or a tap.

  • AND operation between filters of different filter groups
  • You create, for example, a user-defined filter that contains the requirement R > 8. When you activate this filter and the default filter Milling cutters, the control filters the table rows. The control displays only the table rows that meet both requirements at the same time.

The Search column in the Table workspace

The control offers a search function in all tables.

You can define multiple search conditions in the Search function.

Each condition includes the following information:

  • Table column, such as T or NAME
  • Use the Search in selection menu to select the column.

  • Operator if applicable (e.g., Contains or Equal to (=))
  • Use the Operator selection menu to select the operator.

  • Search term in the Search for input field
  •  
    Tip

    If you search the columns using predefined selection values, the control offers a selection menu instead of the input field.

The control provides the following buttons:
