Restriction of the exported result (define a filter)

You can decide which contacts to be added in the exported file. For that purpose you should click on the „Content Restrictions” button.

A new window (Tool window form) will be opened  

Figure 16

You can select up to 4 fields according to which you can restrict the exported result. Using Union type – And/Or, you can determine the relation between the fields. If you select And, as shown in the figure above, the exported file will contain only those contacts where Company equals ABC, City is Arlington  and State is VA, i.e  all the three conditions are fulfilled. If you select the Or option under Union type, then the exported file will contain contacts, where at least one of the conditions above is fulfilled.

The value of each restrictive field can be defined in the following way- “Is Equal”, “Contains”, “Starts with”.  In the case of “Is Equal”, the result will be restricted up to those contacts where the field equals the defined value. In the case of “Contains” those contacts, which somewhere in the indicated field contain the restrictive text, will be added. For example, if the restrictive text is ada, then the results will contain the contacts where the field is Canada, Nevada, etc.

In order to check and apply the filter you have defined you should click on the “Verify and Apply” button.
