Filtering Tasks

Use the filtering tasks along the left side of the Logic Template editor under the FILTERING task bar to add filter commands to the logic template.

The FILTERING task bar allows you to select from a variety of different filters. The filters that are enabled depend on the data types of the data fields defined in the related load definition file. If no load definition file is related to the logic template, then none of the filters will be enabled.

A >> next to a task indicates there are multiple types of filters for this particular task. Placing your mouse over this task will pop-up a sub-menu which will allow you to select from these tasks.

To use the FILTERING task bar, simply place the cursor in the logic template editor where the command is to be inserted and click the task you would like to insert. This will open the arguments dialog box for the particular task selected.

The tasks available in the FILTERING task bar include the following
