Adding condition restrictions

Condition restrictions limit search and filter results to items with check box fields that are selected or cleared, or items with or without specific attributes. For example, you can create a restriction to find all issues with file attachments.

1. Click Add on the Add Filter, Edit Filter, or Advanced Find dialog box.

The Add Restriction dialog box opens.

2. Select a field from the Restrict by list. The options change based on the selected field.

3. If you are adding a restriction to a filter, select Prompt for restriction information at run time to prompt for criteria when the filter is applied.

If this option is selected, you are prompted to enter or select criteria when applying a filter to a list window, generating a report that uses the filter, applying a view that uses the filter on a list window, or applying the filter when adding items to a link.

You may want to select this option if the restriction information changes frequently so you do not have to edit the filter. The restriction information you enter in the filter is used by default. See Selecting interactive filter criteria.

4. If the restriction is for a workflow event, select the Event to search.

• First event searches only the first instance of the event.
• Last event searches only the most recent instance of the event.
• All events searches all instances of the event.

5. Select the condition to search for.

6. Click OK to add the restriction.

7. Click Add to add additional restrictions.
