Filter results

Filters for each Quality project are stored in the folder 'templates/filters'. The file name is like the Filter name (but gets an 'fsx'-extension). Every filter name has to be unique within a Quality project. With the filter you can define which features, metrics and sources you want to filter out. Additionally you can decide how to sort the results.

Feature filter
On the right hand you see all Quality features that are currently available (depending on the Quality model). You can filter any feature by selecting it and pressing the Exclude-Button.

All features, metrics and results that exist only below the excluded features won't be displayed. This is also valid for Flat- or No Features-layout (where features are hid anyway).


Metric filter
Below Available Metrics you see all metrics that are defined in the Quality model. You can exclude any selected metric by pressing the Exclude-Button.

For the results of each metric you can define a minimum and/or a maximum value. So single results that have for example a too low measured value can be excluded. You can enter the minimum or maximum value for the selected metrics, so it's possible to assign a domain to more that one metric at the same time.


Source filter
The source filter works a little bit different to the features or metrics filter.

As there are no available sources you have to enter sources or parts of sources (e.g. 'org.eclipse.internal') as a free text. Then you can assign the text to Excluded Sources or Show only. In both cases this text is compared with the source of the results. The text need not match exactly, but at least a part of the source has to match the text.
Excluded means results with sources that match this text (or any of the text lines) will not be displayed.
Show only means that only results with sources that match any of the text lines will be displayed at all.


Sorting
Sorting the results is especially important if you have the Flat-layout activated.

You can decide in which order the attributes of the results or sorted and in which way (ascending or descending).
