Filters

The Filters Tab enables the user to create logical expressions to filter the content of a Book at publishing time, based on the value of variable assignments and other settings.

Expression Builder

The expression builder is used to create filters based on a range of criteria. The fileters are used to exclude content from the published output.

Select Matching Criteria or Topic to build the exclusion rule.

Matching Criteria: the content must meet one or more of the following criteria. Individual exclusion rules can be created when you have a number of criteria you want to match. This gives you the option of assigning either ALL or ANY exclusion rule logic criteria.

• Release States: select an operator, then select from the list of release states.
• Folder: select an operator, then select from the list of folders.
• Include subfolders: check this option to include content located in all subfolders of the selected folder.
• Variable: Select a variable from the drop-down list, then select an operator, and add the variable value used in this exclusion rule. Depending on the type of variable selected (for example, Text or List of Values) you are given a text field to enter the value or a drop-down list so you can choose from the available values.

Topic: use the Topic option to exclude specific topics from publishing.
