Select Object to Limit

The Select area is used to select the class you want to examine, based on the current context. The tree control contains all the possibilities for the classes to be limited by the LIMIT command. The name "<Self>" refers to the context object itself. To select a class, use the tree control to highlight the class you want.

Where Is A

The Where Is A list box lets you include a section only if the object is in a particular subclass.

Name

The Name text box is used to specify a name for the LIMIT command.

Every LIMIT command must have a name, and the name must be unique within the current scope. The name can consist of letters, numbers, and underscores.

And Where

The And Where area lets you filter the results of the LIMIT command to only those objects that satisfy a given expression. To create an expression, choose "Click here to add" below the Left Operand. In the tree control, select an attribute to serve as the left half of the expression. Use the Operator column to choose an operator. Finally, choose "Click here to add" below the Right operand. The right operand can be a literal or another attribute.

When adding a second And Where expression, be sure the Logical Operator is set to the value you want ("And" or "Or").

To remove an And Where expression, right-click the row you want to remove and choose Delete.
