Define Find Filter Relationships dialog box

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 Rational® 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 Rational® 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, Rational® Functional Tester searches for objects that do not contain the specified relationship and value.
Value
For the specified property, enter a value you want Rational® Functional Tester to search for.
