Use filters to display or work with a subset of data in a stream. To add a filter to the data in a stream:

  1. In  the repository, expand the stream.
  2. Right-click on Filters and  Add  a new filter.
  3. PhixFlow displays the filter properties.

You can also apply filters on the data that is displayed in a view; see Using Filters on Data Views.

Filter Properties

For information about the properties toolbar, and about the sections Parent Details, Analysis Models, Description and Audit Summary, see Common Properties.  For a full list of all the PhixFlow property tabs and windows, see Property Tabs.

Filter Details

Create a filter by adding conditions and clauses.

Field
Description
Condition

Select one of the options

  • Where ALL...
  • Where ANY...

To add more conditions, hover your mouse pointer over this field to display the  Add button.

 Add

Hover your mouse pointer over the Condition field to display this button.
Add another condition to your filter.

Clause

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.
 Permanently Delete

Hover your mouse pointer over a filter clause to display this button.
Delete the selected clause or condition from the filter. 

 (literal string)

Indicates the value entered is a literal value. Click this icon to treat the value as an expression.

 (expression string)

Indicates the value entered is an expression. Click this icon to treat the value to a literal string.

Ignore Case

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

 Tick 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 stream attribute property tab → Advanced section → Filter conditions are case-independent by default.

This option affects the behaviour of filters for PhixFlow instances running on Oracle or MariaDB (MySQL) databases. 
For PhixFlow instances running on a SQLServer database, filters are always case-independent.
