Analysis > Indicator > Filter indicator

A filter indicator takes on the value of the number of elements on a result list, as a function of search criteria.

It is established automatically upon request from the search screen corresponding to the desired list.
In forms where it is present, the filter indicator is a hypertext link to the resulting list.

 

Rights

The indicator only takes into account the elements to which the connected user is entitled.
For example, if the indicator returns the number of current work orders, only work orders for the access organization and criterion compatible with the user's rights will be taken into account.
