Adding integer restrictions

Integer restrictions, which are based on non-decimal numbers, limit search and filter results to items that do or do not contain numbers in a range or list. For example, you can create a restriction based on the issue number to return all issues numbered from 200 to 400 only.

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.

Note: If this option is selected, the filter cannot be used in automation rules, user notification rules, dashboard widgets, or security groups, and cannot be published.

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 a matching option for the numbers entered in the restriction.

Matches the following searches for items that contain the numbers.
Does not match the following searches for items that do not contain the numbers.

6. Select the type of value to search for and enter the values.

Range searches a range of values. To search for matches less than the value in the to field, leave the From field empty. To search for matches greater than the value in the From field, leave the to field empty.
Any of the following numbers searches for multiple numbers. Separate numbers with spaces or commas.

7. Click OK to add the restriction.

8. Click Add to add additional restrictions.
