Filter bars and filter definitions
Filter execution is based on filter definitions that contain:
- Display columns
- User inputs
- Constraints
- Sorting
You can create, edit, and delete user-defined filter bars. The filter designer provides dedicated editors for each definition section.
User input parameters support:
- Typed controls based on data type
- Operator selection
- Required-field enforcement before search execution
Result table capabilities
The Caseflow result table includes:
- Column sorting
- Per-column typed filtering
- Global text search
- Virtualized rendering for large result sets
- Sticky/pinned columns
- Hide/show columns
- Drag-to-group and hierarchical group expansion
- Row selection including shift-range selection
- Bulk edit and bulk delete actions
- Object context menu with permission checks
Table inline editing exists but is disabled by default at table level unless explicitly enabled.
Search operators
These operators are available for ObjectSearch constraints and filter definitions:
| Operator | Alias | Description |
|---|
= | == | Equal |
!= | <> | Not equal |
> | | Greater than |
< | | Less than |
>= | | Greater than or equal |
<= | | Less than or equal |
like | | Pattern match |
notlike | | Negated pattern match |
null | isnull | Value is null |
notnull | isnotnull | Value is not null |
in | | Value in list |
notin | | Value not in list |
soundex | | Phonetic match |
Action condition operators
For when conditions in action expressions, prefer text-safe comparisons where HTML quoting can be tricky:
| Use | Instead of |
|---|
gt | > |
lt | < |
gte | >= |
lte | <= |
Boolean representation
Boolean values in Caseflow often appear as:
"1" / "0""true" / "false"
Template and action logic should normalize expectations accordingly. When comparing booleans in conditions, test for both forms or use isTrue/isFalse operators.
