To copy an advanced search filter

Purpose

You can copy saved advanced search filters for reuse or modification. You can paste a copied filter into the advanced filter configuration form; see Figure 1-1, List form.

Consider the following when you copy and paste an advanced search filter:

  • all of the attributes in the copied filter must have a matching property in the Object Type of the Advanced Filter window into which the filter expression is pasted

  • the matching attributes must have the same displayed name, and the displayed name is case sensitive

  • the matching attributes must be of the same type, for example, string, Boolean, etc.

  • the corresponding properties must have a matching Function

Steps
 
1 

Open a list form.

2 

Click the Filter icon to open the Advanced Filter form.

3 

Click Saved Filters. The Saved Filters form opens.

4 

On the Saved Filters window, choose the filter you want to copy and click Copy Filter.

5 

On a new filter configuration form, click Paste Filter. You can paste the filter expression only into a filter for the same object type as the filter you copied.

Note: If the filter is not compatible, the paste is not successful. An error is generated in the server.log file that indicates the attribute that failed in the paste process.
