Setting filter criteria

You can set criteria for a filter expression to limit the displayed instances, using business measures.

You must have access rights in WebSphere® Portal to perform this task in the configure mode or edit mode.
You can formulate the required filter expression by defining and adding filtering criteria and joining them by operators, or by directly typing the filter expression in the Filter area.

To set filter criteria for the instances that you want to display, complete the following steps:

  1. In the filter settings page, select a business measure to use from the Filter by measure list.
  2. Based on the selected business measure, select an appropriate operator, type a qualifying parameter (if necessary), and then click Add.
  3. If you want to append filtering criteria to your expression, use one or more of the following operators:
    • Click AND to insert an AND operator.
    • Click OR to insert an OR operator.
    • Click NOT to insert a NOT operator.
    • Click ( to insert an opening parenthesis.
    • Click ) to insert a closing parenthesis.
    Tip: The OR operator is added to your expression, by default, when you click Add.
    Note: To delete all text in the Filter area, click Clear.
  4. Click Validate to ensure that your expression is syntactically correct.
  5. Repeat the previous steps to add additional restrictions to your expression.
  6. Optional. Type a description of the filter you have created.
  7. To preview your settings, click Next.
