Search an interval via the search card

Unread post by csh »

I have a variable on my Part card, which is a number that could be anything between 1000 and 5000.

My users needs to find any projects where the input number is in an interval, lets say between 2000 and 2500.

Most intuitive way for the users would be a min and max input field on the search card. But that does not seem to be possible.

Did anybody find a workaround to search an interval via the search card?

This works, thank you!
Not as intuitive as users need to go through our long list of variables. But gets the job done

Another option that works the same as the variable tab is to type it in the search text field like:

>1000 AND <5000

You could add the example text as a Combobox list item they select then modify to make it easier. Then adda tooltip to the field with further instructions.

That's a better option. Also, might be a use for saving the search as a favorite.
