<< Click to Display Table of Contents >> Navigation:  General interface > 3.7: Filtering strings

In each module, the filter options includes alpha-numerical fields (strings)

 

These fields are (non-exclusive list):

•Part number, serial number

•Reference (of a Maintenance Requirement or a reference document)

•Designation, title

•ATA chapter, etc.

 

When selecting a filter option related to these fields, you can either:

•Directly search an exact string by setting the filter to this string (e.g. you search the exact P/N: 40G26-1), or

•Search the strings beginning with a known sub-string (e.g. P/N beginning with 40G). In that case, simply add a I*I character at the end of your search string ('40G*' with our example), or

•Search the strings ending with a known sub-string (e.g. P/N ending with 26-1). In that case, put the * character at the beginning of your search string ('*26-1' with our example), or

•Search the strings matching a sequence of characters with one or several undetermined ones (e.g. you search P/N beginning with '4', followed by any one character at the second position and ending with 'G26-1'). In this case, replace the unknown character by I?I ('4?G263-1' with our example)

 

 

String filtering special characters:

•I*I        when the searched sub-string could be anything (any length)

•I?I        when the character in that position is unknown

 

Note: You can use any combination of these special characters (e.g. '40?26*')
