738 Filters
When you select Read Only for an attribute, operand or value, some additional impacts are that,
for example, reports ordinarily let you alter filters when you manually execute them, but if they
have only read-only filtering, then the report executes immediately without a pause to alter
filtering.
When you do
not specify Read Only , then click the Filter icon when it displays a plus (+), the filter
expands to display all attributes and operands as drop-down lists.

You can then alter the filter’s composition with those drop-downs. You can contract the filter to its
original, smaller size by clicking the Filter icon when it appears with a minus (-).

When applying filters to lists of objects in the application, you can use the listed wildcard
characters as part of the search criteria:
