The editor of conditions is called using this property. The picture below shows the main elements of the editor of conditions:

 

 

Field Is

This is used to select the type of conditions.

Data Type

This field specifies the type of data with what a condition will work. There are five types of data: String, Numeric, DateTime, Boolean, Expression. Data type affects on how the reporting tool processes a condition. For example, if the data type is a string, then the methods of work with strings are used. In addition, depending on the type of data the list of available operations of conditions is changed. For example, only for the String data type the Containing operation is available. The Expression data type provides the ability to specify an expression instead of the second value. In this case the reporting tool will not check the compatibility of the first and the second values of the condition. Therefore, the user should care about the correctness of the expression.

Condition

A type of operation using what the calculation of values will be done.

Value

The first value of a condition.
