Specify advanced criteria

Use the Specify Index Values dialog to restrict the search results by entering a Min and Max range for each field contained in the selected index.

The Min and Max values in the index fields are not evaluated separately.

  • The Min values for each field that you enter are combined; the combined value is used as the starting point for the results. Similarly, the Max values for each field that you enter are combined and the value is used as the ending point for the results.
  • The Max values, when taken as a whole, must be greater than or equal to the Min values.
  • Once you leave a Min value blank, any subsequent Min values in the row do not affect the search results.

Use the Inclusive check box to indicate whether to include results that exactly match your minimum or maximum values.

In this row... selecting Inclusive is equivalent to... not selecting Inclusive is equivalent to...
Min is greater than or equal is greater than
Max is less than or equal is less than

Examples

Consider an index made up of Year, Month, Day, in that order. Entering a Min value equivalent to March 17, 1999, inclusive, and a Max value equivalent to January 16, 2000, inclusive, results in a list of workflows that occurred between March 17, 1999 and January 16, 2000, inclusive. Note that the combined Max value is greater than or equal to the combined Min value, even though individual fields in the Max row are less than the corresponding values in the Min row.

Value Inclusive Year Month Day
Min Yes 1999 03 17
Max Yes 2000 01 16

Using the same index, entering a Min value equivalent to May 1900, inclusive, and a Max value equivalent to May 1999, inclusive, results in a list of workflows that occurred between May 1, 1900 and May 31, 1999. Note that this example does not result in a list of those workflows that occurred only in the month of May during the twentieth century.

Value Inclusive Year Month Day
Min Yes 1900 05  
Max Yes 1999 05
