We are in the process of switching from IFS10 to Cloud. I am confused by the filtering. In Apps10, if I wanted to exclude certain customer names I would use this filter: <>%barrday%;%subcontractor%;%jason%;%michael%;%richard%
Now in Cloud, this filter is not working. How would I type out the same thing in Cloud to ensure that the above are excluded? Also, does the % not hold the same purpose in Cloud?

@smoore10 once you have search criteria specified use the ‘Advanced’ link to see what Odata query your search is returning.
I think the ‘<>’ operator in IEE applied to the entire line. In cloud each item in your OR clause the default search for those items is used unless a different one is specified for each item
To get your search to work for all of those, you will need to alter the advance search to change OR to AND
!~ would only be used for does not contain filter, and there is no need to use % sign with it.
for example, Business users want to query all Customer records excluding barrday, then in that case, they simply need to enter !~barrday onlyin the name filter. Please check like this.
You can use Advanced search as well if the above suggestion does not work. Please refer to the screenshot below.

if i want to filter for a customer, but do not want to type their full name, example: ‘Barrday’ instead of ‘Barrday Corporation’, how would i do that in Cloud. In 10 you would use the % so signify anything that has these letters or numbers, but it doesnt seem like that is the case anymore.
I think you have Match Case enabled (I can tell from the result returned in your Advanced Search...it is not homogenizing the text with the use of ‘tolower’)
@COVJAMIEB yes, apparently you have to go into the Advanced filters, and where it has “OR”, you have to delete it and write “AND”, which seems like a one time solution, but not a long term solution to filtering multiple things at once.
@PhillBronson I do not have match case one anymore, and I am able to filter using the “OR”/”AND” correction in the advanced filter, but… is this really the solution to filtering multiple things at once? I am assuming that “;” means “OR”, do we know what “AND” is represented by in basic filters?
