Filtering records
Records processed by AnyLabels may be filtered, so that only records meeting the filter criteria are displayed or printed.
Selecting Filter records from the Edit menu causes the Filter dialog to be displayed and this allows the user to specify up to three criteria for record selection.
On the left of the dialog are drop-down list displaying either ——— (which means no filter) or the fieldnames available. The central drop-down lists allow the user to select the criterion to be used for the adjacent field, which may be one of:
= equal to
> greater than
< less than
<> not equal to
LIKE is like
On the right of the dialog are the text boxes into which the target criteria are entered.
For example, the picture above shows the settings to select records that have only the word London in the town field
Up to three criteria may be specified and combined by selecting either the AND or OR checkboxes between the criteria rows.
When the OK button is pushed the AnyLabels window is updated to display only the filtered records. Any printing carried out while the filters are in effect will be performed using only the filtered records.
All filtering may be removed by pushing the Remove filters button on the bottom-left of the dialog.
