- Table restriction [Restricted display] and line suppression [Suppressed rows]: - These two function have a similar effect. - You may also use Fortran-Syntax. - Table restriction [Restricted display]: - For example, determine the condition D.EQ.8, in order to reduce the table display to specific values (see figure below).[34] - Line suppression [Suppressed rows]: e.g. D.EQ.8 for a number variable or D.EQ.'8' for a text variable. - With line suppression [Suppressed rows], only one variable without a value can also be specified (list field selection). In this case, all rows that have any value in this variable are displayed. ![[Note]](https://webapi.partcommunity.com/service/help/latest/pages/cn/ecatalogsolutions/doc/images/note.png) - Note - Table restriction [Restricted display] and row suppression [Suppressed rows] can be better implemented with the Strategic Parts Management methods if ERP functionality is available (see e.g. Section 4.7.4.1.4, “ Display condition for table rows - plinkgroups.cfg -> Block [Role_name] -> Key "TABRESTRICTION" ” in ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit (Professional) - Administration). - The limitations of table restriction [Restricted display] and Line suppression [Suppressed rows] is fixed - in contrast to the preferred row function  , which can be switched on and on
                    (see Section 4.7.4.1.2, “
Preferred series - plinkgroups.cfg -> Block [Role_name] -> Key "PREFRANGE"
” in ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit (Professional) - Administration , which can be switched on and on
                    (see Section 4.7.4.1.2, “

- Project filter and filter variable [Filter variable]: - You can use project filters [Project filter] and filter variables [Filter variable] to reduce the number of table rows displayed in the PARTdataManager using filters, and also generate a filtered catalog variant when checking out a catalog. See Section 5.8.2.1.15.10, “ Check out catalog ”. - In the following you can find a description for the creation of filters: - First create one or more filter variables in the PARTdesigner one or more filter variables [35] define. "FILTER" is used here as an example. 
- Then enter the desired filter name in the single rows to be filtered. In above example this is "ENGLISH"; "GERMAN" and "FRENCH": 
- Enter the relevant variable name(s) in PARTproject under Filter variable, enter the corresponding variable name(s). - Here exemplified "FILTER". (See Fig. „ Project filter “.) 
- Click in PARTproject under Edit project -> General -> Table filter [Table filters] -> Project filter, click on the Search Button. - -> The Project filter dialog box opens. - With a click on  , add the desired variables (filters). Here
          exemplarily "ENGLISH"; "GERMAN" and "FRENCH". , add the desired variables (filters). Here
          exemplarily "ENGLISH"; "GERMAN" and "FRENCH".
 - Application in PARTdataManager: - Under menu Extras -> Settings [Settings...]... -> Part selection dialog page -> Project filter field, you can use the filter(s) to control the number of lines displayed. - Using the filters for the Check out catalog function: See Section 5.8.2.1.15.10, “ Check out catalog ”. - Background information: When the catalog is installed, a - prjfilter.cfgwith the list of filters is created in the main directory of the catalog. Alternatively, you can also create project filters in- partsol.cfg: Create the PRJFILTER block with the AVAILABLE key and enter the desired filters there, separated by commas.- All project filters from all catalogs plus the project filters from - partsol.cfgare then offered in the dialog box (see Fig. „In this example only rows with filter "ENGLISH" are visible.“).
[34] A more complex syntax is also possible (e.g. D.NE.14.AND.D.NE.16.AND.D.NE.18). Read about Section 7.8.12, “ Attribute algorithms ”.
[35] Filter variables must be of the "Text" type. They are created in addition to the existing variables.
