Filter by Field Value
The interactive builder makes it easy to build up a Filter Expression of medium complexity, one line at a time--where each line compares the value of a field to some value. When the Lookup field display type points to Users, a special value of $userid is applicable only for Lookup field display type. $userid dynamically parses to the logged in user ID. The $userid cannot not be used with any other field display type.
Creating a Filter Expression
To create a filter expression:
- Select an object field and a comparison operator
- Specify a value to compare to
- Add or remove comparisons, as needed.
Specifying Values
Comparison values are most often specified as numbers and strings, as in the example above.
- Number - a collection of digits: 91410
- String - a sequence of alphanumeric characters in quotes: 'This is a string'
It is also possible to specify values for other kinds of fields.
