Types of Filters

---

There are a variety of different types of filters in NetTracker. The details of setting a filter depend on the filter type.

Text-Based Filters

Most types of filters are text-based. To specify a text-based filter, you select an operator and then enter text or a regular expression that matches the operator using a page that looks similar to the one below:

The page above is usually what you see when you are filtering a NetTracker option. When you are filtering a report, selecting an operator is a two-step process. From the first drop-down list, select that or that do not. From the second drop-down list, select match, start with, end with, contain, or match the pattern. Or, select an option from the third drop-down list.

List Filters

Day of the week and time of day filters require you to select values from a set list. If you want to filter based on multiple values, you must select them all at once, using the Ctrl key (Option key on a Macintosh) and Shift key in conjunction with mouse clicks.

Date Filter

The date filter requires you to select the general date option you want and then customize it using the corresponding drop-down lists. For example, you could select the third option (Current 2 days) and then specify 3 and weeks instead of 2 and days.
