Adding a Filter

 

You can limit or expand the objects that are displayed in the navigation tree. You can filter the tree by object group or object name. Filters apply to all current connections.

To add a filter:

1.         Click any item in the DB2 Web Query Tool Navigation Tree.

A drop-down menu appears.

2.         From the drop-down menu, select Filter.

The Filters page opens. Any active filters are shown in the filters List box.

3.         Select the desired creator from the Creator box. Alternately, type the creator name in the Creator filed and type the group name in the Name field.

Tip:     You can use the wildcard character ‘%’ in either or both fields to return all matching objects.

4.         Click Add.

The filters that you specified are added to the filter List.

5.         Click Apply.

DB2 Web Query Tool filters the tree according to the criteria that you specified.

Note:     All objects that match any of the active filters appear in the navigation tree. An object matching only one of several active filters is still displayed.
