Chapter 5 Using the PowerDesigner Interface


Defining a filter on a list

A filter restricts the number of items to those items that conform to a defined criteria.

In PowerDesigner, you can hide columns, modify column order, or define a filter expression to modify the content of the rows.

Customization tools

You use the following tools to customize the display of a list:

Filter Restriction
D column Displays the corresponding column in the list. When you clear this check box, the corresponding column is no longer displayed

Changes column order in the list. When you modify the order of the columns in a list, you do not modify the order of the rows
Expression Restricts the display in the rows to a defined expression
U column Applies the filter expression to the corresponding column

Note   Gather rows on top of the list
When check boxes are selected, you can press shift and enter or press shift and click OK to move all the selected rows on top of the list.
