l Content Status:The status of the document as a whole. A document can be Empty (no ink),
Partial(some ink but still open), Complete (all mandatory ink is present)or in Error (logical or
process error).
l Operator:The choice of the condition operator. The available choices are variable depending on the
filter but will be part of the following choices:
l Equal:Inclusive filter, where anything equal (either by string or numeric comparison)is included
in the results.
l Not Equal:Exclusive filter, where anything not equal to the condition is included in the results.
l Less Than:Numerical comparison, where anything lower than the specified value is included.
l Greater Than:Numerical comparison, where anything higher than the specified value is
included.
l Less than or equal to:Numerical comparison, where anything lower or equal to than the spec-
ified value is included.
l Greater than or equal to:Numerical comparison, where anything higher or equal to than the
specified value is included.
l Contains:Inclusive string comparison, documents where the specified value is present within
the chosen filter are included.
l Does not contain:Exclusive string comparison, documents where the specified value is not
present within the chosen filter are included.
l Before:Date comparison, documents of which the date is previous to the specified value are
included (Date Generated and Date Closed filters only).
l After:Date comparison, documents of which the date is closer than the specified value are
included (Date Generated and Date Closed filters only).
l Last:Date comparison, documents of which the date is within the specified interval are included
(Date Generated and Date Closed filters only).
l Condition:The condition or value the document needs to meet. The condition is variable dependent on
the chosen filter. It can be a drop-down of values, an alphanumerical or numerical value.
l Add button:Click to add a condition row to the grid.
l Remove button:Click to remove the currently selected condition from the grid. To select a row, simply click
on any of its 3 components.
l Condition Operator:Select either "All items are met"to force all conditions to be true for a document to be
included, or "At least one item is met"to include documents where a minimum of 1 condition is true.
l Create Advanced Data File:Click to retrieve additional information about each document in the result list. These
information include each field, the presence of ink on each of them, time stamps, etc. Click here for an example of the
XMLfile.
The Advanced Data File option will generate a high number of queries into the Capture Database, and will be slower
than a regular data file by orders of magnitude. Do not use this option unless you are aware of the loss of per-
formance and actually need to access each field's properties individually!
