Filters

RMsis implements filters with some common characteristics, described below:

  • RMsis filters are implemented with a universal philosophy of
    • OR within a column
    • AND across columns
  • A filter is indicated by the presence of an icon in a column header of a table.
  • Filter can be accessed by clicking on this icon, which provides multi-select options (if available).
  • The filter is applied as soon as an option is selected.
  • The filter drop-down can be closed by clicking on the (now changed) icon.
     

A typical view from the Planned Requirements table is shown below.

Indicating Filter Status

Whenever a filter is set, the column is highlighted in a different color to indicate the same.

Reset Filter
