Setting filter criteria

Show Me
Katherine James does not want to monitor all active customer orders. She wants to view only Approved or In Progress orders that are above 1000 USD in value. In this exercise, you will set the filter settings to accommodate Katherine's request.
You must have access rights in WebSphere® Portal to perform this task in the Configure mode or Edit mode.
To set a filter query to match these criteria, complete the following steps:
  1. In the filter settings page, select the Approval State business measure from the Filter by measure list. The Approval State business measure type is string.
  2. Select Matching, type Approved, and then click Add to add this condition to the expression.
  3. To insert an OR operator in the expression, click Or.
  4. Type In Progress, and then click Add to append this condition to the expression.
  5. To ensure that your expression is syntactically correct, click Validate.
  6. To add another condition to the expression, click And.
  7. From the Filter by measure list, select the Order Value business measure. The Order Value business measure is a numerical business measure of type Double.
  8. Select the >= operator, type 1000, and then click Add to add this condition to the expression.
  9. To ensure that your expression is syntactically correct, click Validate.
  10. Type the following description for the filter you have created: Approved and In Progress orders that have order value greater than or equal to 1000 USD. Then you can:
    1. Click Next to preview the filtered instances.
    2. Click Finish to save your filter settings.
The Active Customer Orders view now displays only the filtered instances, based on the specified criteria.
