Creating and Editing Find Criteria

To create a new set of criteria or edit an existing set of criteria for searching the object map:

  1. Open the Set Active Find Criteria dialog box:

  1. To set up new find criteria, click Create. To select a set of existing criteria in the Find Filter Names list, click Edit.

    Functional Tester opens the Define Find Filter Properties dialog box.

  2. In the Properties list, select a property to use as find criterion and click >>> to add it to the Filter list. Add as many properties as necessary, clicking >>> after each.

    When you add more than one property to the Filter field, Functional Tester groups the objects under an AND folder (the default).

  3. Make any necessary changes to items in the Filter field:

  1. Click Next to continue; if you are finished editing, click Finish.

    Functional Tester opens the Define Find Filter Relationships dialog box.

  2. Make any necessary changes to the relationship between the properties:

  1. Click Next to continue; if you are finished editing, click Finish.

    Functional Tester opens the Define Find Filter Name dialog box.

  2.  In the Filter Name field, enter the name you want to use for the set of find criteria. This is the name displayed in the Find Filter Names field of the Set Active Find Criteria dialog box.

    When editing, changing the Filter Name copies the set of criteria, creating a new set of criteria and leaving the old set intact.

  3. Click Finish.

    Functional Tester closes the Define Find Filter Properties dialog box and reopens the Set Active Find Criteria dialog box, which enables you to run the filter you have created or edited, define a new filter, or edit an existing filter.
