The conditions vary according to the field type, and include the following:

- Equals - the field is identical to the specified text
- Greater than - the field exceeds a specific value (numeric fields only)
- Greater than or equals - the field is greater than or equal to a specific value (numeric fields only)

- Starts with - the field begins with the specified text
- Ends with - the field ends with the specified text
- Regular expression - the field matches the specified regular expression (text fields)

You can apply filters from more than one field (the effect is a logical AND of all applied filters). The filters appear in the filter bar above the table.
