How To: Use Filters

Filters allow items within lists to be displayed by entering known criteria.

Filters appear in many areas across all DriveWorks products. Filters can be applied wherever the Filter box at the top of a list view appears.

Apply a Filter

To begin filtering the list enter the required criteria into the filter box directly above the list to be filtered.

Lists that contain separate columns can have a filter applied to a specific column using the format ColumnName:Criteria

Column Names that contain spaces to separate words should be enclosed within quotes to filter by that column; "Column Name":Criteria

Please note the following:
  • Filtering is not case sensitive
  • Filtering can be done on numeric values, but not using comparisons (i.e. > or <)

Examples

FilterDescription
Name:MyProjShows only items containing the name 'MyProj' in any folder
Location:ProjLocshows only items where the file path contains the word 'ProjLoc' but has any name
"Project Name":MyProjShows only items containing the name 'MyProj' in any folder
Project Name: MyProjShows items where 'Project' is present in any column AND where 'MyProj' is present in the project name
"Project Name":MyProj Location:ProjLocShows items where the name contains 'MyProj' AND has a file path containing 'ProjLoc'
Project Name:MyProj Location:ProjLocShows items where the name contains 'MyProj' AND has a file path containing 'ProjLoc' AND both columns also contain the word 'project'
Value:280Shows items where Value contains 280
Value:1000kg AND Name:weightShows items where Value contains 1000kg and name contains weight
Value:f AND Name:fonShows items where Value contains 'f' and Name contains 'fon'
Value:f AND NOT Name:FonShows items where Value contains 'f' and Name does not contain 'fon'
Value:d AND OR Name:sitShows items where Value contains 'd' or Name contains 'sit'
