The Define Find Filter Relationships dialog box is the second step
in creating and editing find criteria, which enables you to use filters to
find objects in a test object map. You use this dialog box to define the relationship
between the properties you added to the find filter.
The Define Find Filter Relationships dialog box has the following
controls:
- Filter
- Lists all the groups of filter properties you specified in the Define
Find Filter Properties dialog box. If necessary, click <Back to
make any additions or edits to the list.
Note: You can right-click a group
folder to change it to AND or OR.
To group objects, press Ctrl and click the objects you want to include, right-click,
and select Group. To ungroup objects, right-click
the group folder and select Ungroup. Right-clicking
objects in the Filter field enables you to cut, copy,
paste, or delete them.
- Relationship
- The controls in this section change based on whether you click a group
or a property in the Filter box.
- AND
- When selected, changes the highlighted group to an AND;
all the property relationships in the group must resolve to true in order
for Functional Tester to find the object in the test object map.
- OR
- When selected, changes the highlighted group to an OR;
at least one property relationship in the group must resolve to true in order
for Functional Tester to find the object in the test object map.
- Operator
- Enables you to indicate whether the Value: Exists (the
default), IsNull, or is Equal.
- NOT Relationship
- When selected, Functional Tester searches for objects that do not contain
the specified relationship and value.
- Value
- For the specified property, enter a value you want Functional Tester to
search for.
