Filters

The "Organizations" tab contains filters located on the left side of the window.

Filters

As it was mentioned in the "Interface description -> Working with filters" section user can create his or her own filters in the "Organizations" module.

If there are no filters created by the user, the system creates the "Clients" and the "Potentials" filters automatically. These filters show the organizations with the corresponding status assigned to them when adding or editing organizations. These filters can be edited using the Edit button.

Among the filters, there are always "All" and "Deleted". The filter "All" shows all the organizations (except the deleted ones) that were registered in TeamWox. The "Deleted" filter is only visible to users that are permitted to administer the module.

In each filter except the "All" one, there is the "Delete all" button located to the right of the "New organization" button. You can delete all organizations from the selected filter by pressing this button.

Editing Filters

To create your own filter, you should press the New filter New filter button. To modify an existing filter, press the Edit button that appears when moving the mouse cursor over it. The window of filter editing is opened:

Filter Editor

The left part of the window displays the existing filters. To change a filter, select it and modify its parameters in the right part of the window. To move filters relatively to each other in the list, use the Move Down and Move Up buttons that appear when moving the mouse cursor over the filters.

The following parameters are specified here:

  • AND/OR — you should choose the filters condition ("AND", "OR") in the first field of the block.
  • Field — you should choose the field, by which organizations/contacts will be selected for your filter. You can select this field in the list that opens if you press the arrow-like button at the end of the "Field". This list contains all the fields that can be filled out during creating a new organization/contact in TeamWox.
  • Condition — you should choose a filtering condition in the "Condition" field. The possible choices according to the field chosen are: empty, filled, equal to, not equal to, starting from, containing.
  • Value — if one of the last four noted conditions is chosen, you should type the desired word or phrase in the "Value" field. In other words, if you specify the "Country" field and the condition "Equal to", then you should enter the country name in the "Value" field (for example, "Australia").

Rules of a filter are executed sequentially. Rules can be grouped between the "OR" conditions. For example, to create a filter of organizations of the Client type from Russia or USA, and whose manager is John Smith, create the following set of rules:

  • AND Type Equal Client
  • AND Manager Equal John Smith
  • AND Postal address:Country Russia
  • OR Type Equal Client
  • AND Manager Equal John Smith
  • AND Postal address:Country USA

To delete a rule, put the mouse cursor over it and press Delete.

To open the library of filters, click Library Library. The list of available filters is opened:

Library of filters

To add a filter from the library to the list of your own filters, click Add Filter from the Library. To add your filter to the library, put the mouse cursor over it and click Add Filter to the Library.

Only the users that have the "Administrator" right can delete filters from the library. To delete a filter, put the mouse cursor over it and click Delete.

If you synchronize the clients database of MetaTrader 4 Server with the "Organizations" module, the "MetaTrader 4" type will be automatically assigned to each client added during synchronization. This will allow you to easily create a special filter for working with your trading clients. To create such a filter, you should create a rule with the following parameters: "Field" - Type, "Condition" - Equal to, "Value" - MetaTrader 4.
