button.

Clause line

For each part of the clause line, select an option from the list. PhixFlow adds more fields where you can:

select how the filter matches (for example, equals, contains, is null)
enter a string that the filter uses to match the data. The string can be an expression or a literal string.

Click the icons:

Insert excerpt
_delete
_delete
nopanel true
to delete the selected clause or condition from the filter.
Insert excerpt
_filter_literal
_filter_literal
nopanel true
indicates the value entered is a literal value. Click this icon to treat the value as an expression.
Insert excerpt
_filter_expression
_filter_expression
nopanel true
and a green border indicates the value entered is an expression, allowing autocomplete of fields and Functions. Click this icon to treat the value to a literal string.
Insert excerpt
_editor_expand
_editor_expand
nopanel true
to open a larger editor to enter a value or expression.

Case Sensitive

This field is only available for PhixFlow instances running on Oracle or MySQL databases.

Insert excerpt

	_check_box_tick
	_check_box_tick
nopanel	true

so that , for PhixFlow instances running on Oracle or MySQL, the condition only matches strings that have the same capitalisation (case-sensitive).

Insert excerpt

	_check_box_untick
	_check_box_untick
nopanel	true

so that the condition matches strings that have any capitalisation (case-insensitive). For example "abc" matches "abc", "Abc", "ABC", etc. For case-insensitive filters, there is no difference if the attribute is also indexed.

Whether or not the check box is ticked by default depends on the underlying Attribute

→ Advanced section → Filter conditions are case-sensitive by default.
