Criteria Operators
Criteria operators are used to compare two values. When the comparison is true, a record is included. When the comparison is false, the record is not included.
Note: If the Not column is checked, the comparison is reversed.
Example: When running the Staff Sign In report, the Query Parameters form is displayed. By specifying that "Shift" = "A", all A shift staff will be included in the report. Check not and all staff except A shift staff are included in the report.
Note: There are limited search options for narrative and notes fields in FH Enterprise. Equal (=) and like ($) are the only operators allowed for searching for values in narrative and notes fields in FH Enterprise.
