Warning
titleEscaping Filters

Before you start actually building filters you HAVE to understand this part. If your Data Set or Field names contain spaces or non-ASCII characters they either need to be renamed or they need to be escaped. Renaming is easier to understand, so we recommend removing all spaces, hyphens, and special characters.

If you choose to keep those kinds of characters in the name, you'll need to escape them when building your filters. The most frequent character that needs escaping is a space.

To escape a character:

  • Prepend '_x'
  • Type Four-digit unicode character
  • Append underscore '_'

For example, a space becomes _x0020_. The field 'Project Code' would become 'Project_x0020_Code'.


Hard-Coded Filters

These are the simplest filters to set up. You hard code the values displayed.
