The Define Find Filter Relationships dialog box is the second step in creating and editing find criteria, which enables you to use filters to find objects in a test object map. Use to define the relationship between the properties you added to the find filter.
The Define Find Filter Relationships dialog box has the following controls:
Filter -- Lists all the groups of filter properties you specified in the Define Find Filter Properties dialog box. If necessary, click <Back to make any additions or edits to the list.
Note: You can right-click a group folder to change it to AND or OR. To group objects, press Ctrl and click the objects you want to include, right-click, and select Group. To ungroup objects, right-click the group folder and select Ungroup. Right-clicking objects in the Filter field enables you to cut, copy, paste, or delete them.
Relationship: -- The controls in this section change based on whether you click a group or a property in the Filter box.
AND -- When selected, changes the highlighted group to an AND; all the property relationships in the group must resolve to true in order for Functional Tester to find the object in the test object map.
OR -- When selected, changes the highlighted group to an OR; at least one property relationship in the group must resolve to true in order for Functional Tester to find the object in the test object map.
Operator -- Enables you to indicate whether the Value: Exists (the default), IsNull, or is Equal.
NOT Relationship -- When selected, Functional Tester searches for objects that do not contain the specified relationship and value.
Value -- For the specified property, enter a value you want Functional Tester to search for.
Convert Value to Regular
Expression -- Available when Operator
is Equal, enables you to specify
a regular expression in the Value
field. For information, see Replacing
an Exact-Match Property with a Pattern.
Convert Value to Numeric
Range --
Available when Operator is Equal, enables you to specify a numeric
range in the Value field. For
information, see Replacing
an Exact-Match Property with a Pattern. Clicking the NR
notation in the Value field displays
fields that enable you to specify the numeric range parameters. This button
is only enabled if the value is of a numeric type.
Back -- Returns to the Define Find Filter Properties dialog box.
Next -- Advances to the Define Find Filter Name dialog box.
Finish -- Available when editing existing find criteria, saves any changes and closes the Define Find Filter Relationships dialog box.
Cancel -- Closes the Define Find Filter Relationships dialog box without saving any changes you have made.
To open: When defining or editing find criteria, click Next in the Define Find Filter Properties dialog box.
