Data set 1 filter clauses

Each clause in a Data Set 1 filter identifies an object or attribute in Data Set 1 to select for evaluation when the comparison rule is processed. The filter can also identify both an object and an attribute in Data Set 1 to select for evaluation.

The following table describes the elements of a Data Set 1 filter clause:
Field Function Rules and Requirements
Sequence Number that specifies the order in which to process the clause.

Mandatory.

Use a unique number for each clause.

Use a number greater than 0.

Open Parenthesis ( ... Marks the beginning of an expression. Parenthesis marks group expressions to control the order of operations when you use multiple clauses joined by a logical operator (AND or OR). Optional. However, for each open parenthesis, use a corresponding close parenthesis.
Data Set 1 Object Specifies the target object in Data Set 1.

Mandatory.

Selected from a value list that includes the following values:

If Data Set 1 is assets:
  • ASSET (Asset)
  • ASSETSPEC (Asset Specification)
  • ITEM (Item)
  • ITEMSPEC (Item Specification)
If Data Set 1 is configuration items (CIs):
  • CI (Configuration Item)
  • CISPEC (CI Specification)
Data Set 1 Class Structure When you select a specification as the Data Set 1 object, this field identifies a specific class structure for reconciliation.

Mandatory if you select a specification for the object.

Selected from a value list. Values in the list are class structure identifiers for the objects that belong to the top-level objects.

Data Set 1 Class Structure Description Displays a description of the selected class structure.

Read-only field.

Data Set 1 Classification Displays the classification for the selected class structure.

Read-only field.

Data Set 1 Attribute Identifies the specific attribute of the Data Set 1 object or class structure to use for the Data Set 1 filter.

Optional.

Selected from a value list. The object selected determines which values the system displays in the value list.

Data Set 1 Attribute Title Displays the title of the attribute selected.

Read-only field.

Operator Identifies the operator for the attribute specification.

Mandatory if you select an attribute. Otherwise the field is read-only.

Value Specifies a value for the selected attribute.
