Description

The list box filter is used to select a few values from a very long list of values present in the column.

Select items in the list to filter to those items. Press Ctrl or Shift and click to select multiple values. If you click the first alternative in the list, (All), no filter is applied, and all values are shown.

You can narrow down the list of values by typing a string of text in the search field above the list. The values that do not match the string are removed from the list. As you type the string, the list is continuously updated with the values that match the current substring. Non-alphanumeric characters are not considered to be included in words, and if no quotation marks are used, matching is done on word boundaries. Add quotation marks to include special characters in the search string.

Note: By narrowing down the list using a text search like this first, you can more easily find the values of interest, but this does not affect the applied filtering in any way.

You can use the "OR" operator to search for more than one entity in the search field. For example, if you enter "Apple OR Banana" in the search field, it will find items that include a word that starts with Apple or Banana. For a more detailed explanation as well as information about additional search operators, please refer to "Searching in TIBCO Spotfire" in the Spotfire Analyst User's Guide:
