Select using Character tag

Select using a character tag

Select this check box to limit the samples to a specific character field. Once the character field has been specified, it is then possible to nominate whether to include or ignore those entries that contain specific character strings.

For example, you may have a database field named BOUND and the entries in this field are 'ore', 'waste', and 'internal waste'.

Use specific character values

To use only the character string 'Ore' you would need to check the check this box and specify 'Ore' as the specific string. The strings to use are specified through the Value column, which is enabled once the Use specific character values check box has been selected.

Ignore certain character values

Enable the Ignore certain character values check box if you want to ignore specific character strings. The strings to exclude are specified through the Value column, which is displayed below the Ignore certain character values check box.

Note:   The selection methods accumulate, that is, if more than one method is chosen, then the samples must satisfy each selected method before being included. Within a method, selection is based on the OR selection criterion except for field restrictions, which allows AND/OR selection criteria.
