Filtering data by setting filter properties (MainView Explorer)

Filtering data using filter properties is temporary. Closing the views discards the filters. The current data is only filtered; no data is updated.

To set filter properties for a view

1. Perform one of the following actions:

   • On the view toolbar, click the Properties button.

   • Right-click the view tab or the blank part of the view toolbar, and select Properties.

2. In the Filters tab of the Properties dialog, specify a filter value for one or more element names (column headings).The filter value must be valid for the field. If the field accepts character data, the value can include one of the following wildcard characters:

   
   

   Wildcard	Description
   *	Represents any number of characters, including zero The asterisk must be the last or only character in the value (such as JOBNAME=CICS* or JOBNAME=* ).
   ?	Represents a single character A question mark can appear in one or more positions in the value (such as JOBNAME=CICS?2? ).

   
   

3. To display the filtered data in the view, click Apply.

   Warning

   Note

   If the Filters tab does not list the element name that you want to use as a filter, you can enter the WHERE command on the view’s Command line.
