10.2.3 Custom Filter
A Custom Filter allows you to define a filter expression from which you can filter
data according to your specific requirements.
Custom Filter Condition
A Custom filter condition is composed of:
Column name (Condition Name)
Operators
Condition value
Examples of Custom Filter Expressions
The following list contains some valid Custom filter expressions:
Event Category = "Life Safety"
Event Category = {“Status”; “Life Safety”; “Supervisory”}
The Custom filter also allows you to create complex filters and conditions using
mathematical and logical operators, and wildcard characters. The following
operators are supported:
Mathematical Operators
Enum Columns Equal to (=), Not Equal to (<>)
NOTE:
For columns such as Discipline, Sub discipline, Type, and
Subtype only the (=) operator is supported.
Numeric
Columns
Equal to (=), Not Equal to (<>),Less than (<),Greater than (>),Less than
Equal to (<=),Greater than Equal to (>=)
Text Columns Equal to (=), Not Equal to (<>), IN (←)
Variant
Columns
Equal to (=), Not Equal to (<>),Less than (<),Greater than (>),Less than
Equal to (<=),Greater than Equal to (>=),IN (←)
CNS Columns Equal to (=)

Logical Operators
AND Applying the custom filter expression on multiple columns. For example,
'Discipline' = "Building Automation" AND 'Subdiscipline' = "Access
Control"
OR Applying the custom filter expression on the same column. For example,
'Discipline' = {"Building Automation";"Energy Management"}
