Filtering

The Filtering page allows you to use CAML filters to dynamically filter records or use Complex Filters to define static filter for the data.

The Filtering page contains the following:

 

Table 8. Filtering

Element	Description
CAML Filter	Allows you to specify the CAML (Collaboration Application Markup Language) query expression to filter your data. CAML is an XML-based query language. The CAML Filter will only be applied to the data. The filter will not be applied to the responses. For more information, see CAML Filters
CAML Filter for Folders	Allows you to filter the folders that are displayed in the folder panel. This is useful if you maintain the metadata on your folders and want to display folders with specific properties. For more information, see CAML Filters
Apply CAML Filter on First Level Folder Only	Allows you to apply the CAML Filter for folders only on the first level folder. By default, the value is false. If set to true, the listview applies the CAML Filter for folders on the first level folder (that is, folders located directly under the root folder) but will not apply the CAML Filter on the subsequent level.
Complex Filter	Allows you to use the Complex Filter expression to define a static filter for the data. The complex filter is applied to the data after the CAML Filter is applied. NOTE: The Complex Filter is provided here only for backward compatibility reason. In the past, Complex filter was used to support date functions. For more information, see Complex Filters
