The filter mission is to limit the set of records that will be displayed in the list (in any list: related list, open list, the dictionary). The filter is a set of conditions the record must meet to be on the list. Filters can be configured with the condition builder.
Dynamic Filters
Dynamic filters extend the filters by the JS scripts executing ability. This ability is available in the list condition builder and in the dynamic reference qualifier condition builder.
In Condition Builder, dynamic filters are available when selecting the reference field and the 'is dynamic' operator (system name is ISDYNAMIC). After this, the list of available dynamic filters will appear.
When executing the filter as a value of the condition using the 'is dynamic' operator, the value returned by the dynamic filter script will be used.
To create a new dynamic filter, please complete the following steps (a new record in the sys_filter_option_dynamic will be created):
- Navigate to the System Definition → Dynamic Filters;
- Click New, fill in the form, and then click Save.
