Setting Object Specifiers and State Filters
The properties dialog box for the Custom View appears.
2. Select the specifier to be updated.
3. Click Update or double-click the selected item.
The Update Specifier dialog box for the chosen specifier appears.
4. Enter a specifier template.
This value must conform to the rules described in Setting Object Specifiers and
State Filters on page 5-7.
5. Enter a state filter.
To include all objects regardless of state, select the All option under Include States.
To filter based on the state value, select the Filter option under Include States. The
filter expression consists of a series of dropdown lists and state input fields. Supply
a filter expression by selecting a comparison operator (<, <=, =, >=, >, <>) from the
first dropdown list and then enter the comparison state value in the adjoining field.
The up and down arrow controls on this field operate only in the range of 0 through
9 (the standard OEM state values), but you can enter any positive integer value
directly in the field.
If this completes the filter expression, select Done from the second drop-down list.
To add a second comparison to the filter expression, choose AND or OR from this
drop-down list and repeat the previous procedure for the second comparison
operator and associated state value field.
When the OEM evaluates this specifier as part of updating a Custom View, an
object must pass the entire filter expression to be included in that view.
6. Click OK to accept the changes, or click Cancel to discard them.
The Update Specifier dialog box closes.
7. Click OK or Apply in the properties dialog box to save the change, or click Cancel
to discard it.

button on the toolbar.
The properties dialog box for the Custom View appears.
2. Select the specifier to be deleted.
3. Click Delete.
The specifier is removed from the list.
