Use this dialog box to specify criteria for a filter for a table. When a filter is applied to the table, only the input ports that match the criteria of the filter are displayed in the table.

Filter name: The name of the filter. This name is dynamically constructed, based on the rules specified, unless you explicitly type a new name.

The dialog box contains a table of rules, with one rule for each attribute on the items being filtered. The values for the rules are based on the item that is currently selected in the table being filtered. The rule table contains the following columns:

(Unlabeled): Indicates whether the rule is enabled. When a rule is enabled "==>" appears in the cell. To modify the value, click the cell once to select it, and then click again to edit it (do not double-click). A check box appears in the cell. Click to select or clear the check box.

Name: An attribute on the type of object being filtered. You can select a different name from a drop-down list.

Operation: A Boolean operation relating the Name to the Value. You can select a different operation from a drop-down list.

Value: A value to be related to the Name.

To add a rule to the table, click the Insert new item () icon, and then modify the cells of the row to define the rule.

To delete a rule, select it and click the Delete current item () icon.
