Filter in Find Form Dialog

You can create new filters and update existing filters using the Find Form dialog. You can open the dialog from the Tools menu or by right- clicking a Broker in the SCM Explorer view.

Save Filter or Create New Filter

After you have provided some search criteria in the Find Form dialog, click the Save Filter button to save the filter data. This action opens a dialog box and allows you to specify a name to the filter. After you specify a name, click OK to save the filter by that name.

If a filter of the same name exists, a prompt allows you to specify whether to overwrite the previously saved filter or not. If you select Yes, it overwrites the previously saved filter else, it does not overwrite and cancels the operation.

Selection of Saved Filters

A combo box displays the list of available filters for the Find Form dialog.

After you create a new filter and save it, the filter is added in the list of all saved filters and is immediately populated in the combo box.

You can select any of the filters from the combo box. The corresponding data is populated in the respective fields in the Find Form dialog.

Remove Filter

This option removes an existing filter.

After you select a filter in the filter combo box, this button is enabled. Click the Remove Filter to remove the selected filter from the combo box.

Update or Overwrite an Existing Filter

Use the Save Filter button to update or overwrite a filter.

When you select a filter from the filter combo box, the Save Filter button remains disabled. After you modify some of the search criteria, the Save Filter button is enabled.

When you click the Save Filter button, you can either update or overwrite the existing filter by saving the filter with the same name, or create a new filter by specifying a new name.
