CONTAINS <value> |
profile attribute, custom attribute, UDP, system attribute, related object property |
|
NOT CONTAINS |
NOT CONTAINS <value> |
profile attribute, custom attribute, UDP, system attribute, related object property |
|
BEFORE |
BEFORE <value> (exclusive) |
"Created Date", "Updated Date", profile attribute, custom attribute, related object property with a date or datetime data type |
|
AFTER |
AFTER <value> (exclusive) |
"Created Date", "Updated Date", profile attribute, custom attribute, related object property with a date or datetime data type |
|
BETWEEN |
BETWEEN <value> AND <value> (inclusive) |
"Created Date", "Updated Date", data profiling attribute, profile attribute, custom attribute, system attribute, related object property with a date, datetime or numeric data type |
|
LESS THAN |
< <value> |
Data profiling attribute, profiling attribute, custom attribute, system attribute, related object property with a numeric data type |
|
LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO |
<= <value> |
Data profiling attribute, profiling attribute, custom attribute, system attribute, related object property with a numeric data type |
|
GREATER THAN |
> <value> |
Data profiling attribute, profiling attribute, custom attribute, system attribute, related object property with a numeric data type |
|
GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO |
>= <value> |
Data profiling attribute, profiling attribute, custom attribute, system attribute, related object property with a numeric data type |
Note:
When applied to a profile attribute, custom attribute, custom relationship, UDP, system attribute, data profiling attribute, or a related object property, a filter with the =, !=, <, <=, >, >=, = any (...), != any (...), = all (...), != all (...), [not] starts with, [not] ends with, [not] contains, before, after or between operator would only return any results if the profile attribute, custom attribute, custom relationship, UDP, system attribute, data profiling attribute, or related object property is applicable to the objects and the filter condition is satisfied. NOT EXISTS returns objects that the attribute is not applicable to.
In other words, if an object does not have any attribute Physical Name, any "Physical Name" filter with the operator =, !=, = ANY (...), != ANY (...), = ALL (...), != ALL (...), [NOT] STARTS WITH, [NOT] ENDS WITH, [NOT] CONTAINS, BEFORE, AFTER or BETWEEN will never return this object. But NOT EXISTS will return this object.
