Extended filter mechanism

From Wikipedia

To administrate a big amount of contacts sometimes one single filter which searches for substrings inside a field is not enough. There fore we expanded the filter system with the following features:

• Several filter rules:

Instead of simply using the 'substring' criterium youcan choose between 'substring', 'exact match', 'begins with', 'ends with', 'bigger than', 'smaller than' and 'is not'

• Multiple filters:

If the result of a filter is still too big for your selection you can apply another filter (and another, an another) to reduce the amount of shown records. These filter works with the 'AND' conjunction. All applied filters will appear in a list below the contact navigation bar. You can delete any of the filters by klicking on the link given.

• Persistent filters:

Once you have applied a filter, this filter will remain active until you remove them or close the session. This means that you can even use other modules and your filter will remain.

Option to store the result of such filters in a profile.

• Export:

If you want to keep the selection of records due to a filter combination you can store the result in a profile. The name of the profile will be the timestamp of the moment so in most cases you have to switch to the profil menu and change the title of the profile. In the remark you will find a list of filters you have applied.
