Entering Selection Conditions

Use

You enter selection conditions on which the system bases its search for changed and logged data records. Depending on whether you are in standard or extended modes, you have a different number of selection conditions available to you.

The entry of selection involves an and operation. As a result, the system only searches for data that meets all the selection conditions.

If you put several selection conditions into temporary storage using Copy selection in extended mode, and then start the evaluation, the system searches for all data records that match at least one of the combinations of selection conditions that you copied.

You can initially store any number of combinations of selection conditions locally, and then perform a general evaluation for them all. The system then determines all data records that match at least one of the copied combination of selection conditions.
