See the Filters help page for more information about filters.
Use the Attribute Text term to filter people based on their Attributes. The term returns true when the chosen Attribute passes the filter condition described by the term's comparison properties.
For more information about Attributes, see the Attribute Item help page.
Properties
Attribute Name
Use the Attribute Name pull-down menu to choose an attribute.
Operator
Choose an Operator from the pull-down menu.
For all comparisons, letter case does not matter, so "a" matches "A", for example.
The choices are:
- Equals – Returns true if the text in the Attribute value and the comparand text are equal.
- Does not equal – Returns true if the text in the Attribute value and the comparand text are not equal.
- Empty – Returns true if the text in the Attribute value is empty.
- Not empty – Returns true if the text in the Attribute value is not empty.
- Starts with – Returns true if the text in the Attribute value starts with the comparand text.
- Does not start with – Returns true if the text in the Attribute value does not start with the comparand text.
- Contains – Returns true if the comparand text occurs somewhere in the text in the Attribute value.
- Does not contain – Returns true if the comparand text does not occur somewhere in the text in the Attribute value.
- Matches – Returns true if the text in the Attribute value matches the Regular Expression in the comparand. Regular Expressions in Gedcom Publisher are always case-insensitive.
- Does not match – Returns true if the text in the Attribute value does not match the Regular Expression in the comparand. Regular Expressions in Gedcom Publisher are always case-insensitive.
- Ends with – Returns true if the text in the Attribute value ends with the comparand text.
- Does not end with – Returns true if the text in the Attribute value does not end with the comparand text.
Comparand
Set the Comparand to the text you want to compare to the Attribute value.
Title
Use the Title property to set the title of the filter term. Gedcom Publisher will set the title automatically when you change one of the other properties. If you want to use your own title, set the Title property after you set the other term properties.
