The Compare to Constant criterion allows you to create a criterion that compares an attribute against a constant value that you provide.
The following criterion properties must be defined:
•Operator: defined using a drop-down list that contains the following values:
o is equal to
o does not equal
o is less than
o is less than or equal to
o is more than
o is more than or equal to
•Value: you must provide a constant value against which to compare the attribute. The data type of the constant must be appropriate for the data type of the attribute upon which the criterion is based. Valid constants are:
o String: all constants appropriate
o Integer: only integer constants appropriate
o Decimal: only numeric constants appropriate. Support is provided for 6 decimal points of precision.
o Date/time: only date/time constants appropriate (a date picker control is provided if creating a criterion based on a date/time attribute).
If you choose not to specify a constant, you are effectively supplying a blank value (this applies only to string attributes).
