Filter and Group Selection Fields

Some wizard pages within a procedure use filter fields to ease the process of selecting the appropriate data for a value. Filter fields limit the options. Often, filter fields are used with group selection fields and move buttons, which make it easy for you to select a group of options at one go.

The following figure shows an example of a filter field and group selection fields in the IBM® Sterling B2B Integrator interface:

To use a filter field, type the complete word, partial word, or phrase in the field and click the filter icon . IBM Sterling B2B Integrator displays only options that match your filter criteria in the available options list. You can enter new filter criteria and repeat the process as many times as required. Each time you filter the display, the list displays only the entries that match your most recent filter request.

To restore the entire contents of the list, clear the filter field and click the filter icon.

Group selection fields enable you to select or remove options, either individually or in groups. The left pane contains the available options. The right pane contains the options you select (these are ‘assigned' options). To use the group selection fields, use the move buttons as described next:
  • Click the right double-arrow to move all options from the Available pane to the Assigned pane.
  • Select one or more options and click the right single-arrow to move your options from the Available pane to the Assigned pane.
  • Click the left double-arrow to move all options from the Assigned pane to the Available pane.
  • Select one or more options and click the left single-arrow to move your options from the Assigned pane to the Available pane.
