170 viewschildrenfilter condition Custom property Not Equal To Visio

Hello,

I am trying to use the ChildrenFilter shape data to filter what I want to display, and for that I need to display all matches that do not have the string Mask for the custom property XPTO.

  • [sep:|~]Property:XPTO!=Mask

This “!=” operator is not working as expected as it returns no results.

Can someone give me some help on here 🙂

Hi Bruno,

You can use a custom property as a filter.  In your case from what you are showing, I believe you are missing the [] brackets around the Property data.  Try using:

[sep:|~][property:XPTO]!=Mask

Since this is a nested shape, to verify you are seeing the correct data, you can test with a shape data field of Property set to XPTO, which will then display the property value.

If you do not see the property value expected, then you may need to add an ‘AllowInheritance’ or ‘ForcePropertyFromParent’ option to the shape data to correlate the shape to the correct property.

Let us know if this works for you.

Hello Steve,

I added the Property shape data to verify the info and it is being show. However the filter condition is not working. The "!=" operator is not working.

How can I check if a property does not have any value? I could try to do that instead…

Hi Bruno,

So it took a little more to get the nested shape to work. Following is what I was able to come up with.

For the nested shape data fields use:
Parameter | [parameter Id you want displayed]
Options | AllowInheritance=true
Hide | [sep:-~]<A>~A|*|Property:[your property no brackets]|!=Mask
(i.e. – [sep:-~]<A>~A|*|Property:Asset Tag|!=Mask

Let us know if this works or not.

Hello Steve,

Still not working as you mentioned.

Can I ask you how can I filter by empty or blank values for a property? Eventually it can work that way…

Thanks
