Filter Definitions

The Filter Definition area allows certificate holders to set up filters with specific values so they may narrow their search of certificates they wish to view.

To create a filter choose Update Filters.

To define a filter choose Add a New Filter.

Enter a User Filter Name to define this filter – this name may only contain alpha or numerical characters with NO SPACES.

Enter a Filter Description – this is a long description of what this filter will show.

Choose Add a New Field.

The Field Addition: box appears; choose a Field Name from the list. The field names you see will be relevant to which systems you are in. The three systems are Tax Sale, Certificate Holder Maintenance, and County Held Purchase. For example, FACEAMOUNT is the face amount of the certificate.

Once you select a Field Name to apply to the filter the screen will come back with an Operator: and Value: field.

In the Operator: field use the arrow and choose a Value.

In the Value: field enter your desired value.

If you are entering a dollar amount do not use any special characters ($) or decimals.

If you are entering the Property Number you must include the dashes and/or spaces such as: R01731-000-00.

Next hit the ADD FIELD button to add this to your filter.
