Filter

Opens the Plant Filter dialog box. Specify how to filter the list of plants to see only the ones of interest.

Select the available filter parameters for each row of choices, and then select the comparison operator and the value. The operators support ranges, using the |_| delimiter; if a plant data value is defined as a range, and a value entered with the = operator is within the range, the plant is found. Using < with a value finds the lower range value, and > finds the upper range value.

Select existing to choose from a list that is derived from the plants in the catalog, or select custom to enter a value.

The “like” operator, for text, can use the * symbol to represent any set of characters, and the ? to represent any single character.
