Understanding Filters

Many of the Sharp_MFP FlowPoints let you configure filter options.
Filters define a subset of documents that will be processed by the
FlowPoint. Documents that do not meet the filter criteria will be
ignored by the FlowPoint and passed on to the next FlowPoint in
the chain.

Figure 3.16 Example of filter options on a FlowPoint configuration screen

By default, the Process all jobs option is selected for most
FlowPoints and no filters are configured, so all documents will be
processed.

Warning All FlowPoints that use the GenPCL and FileCopy
processors have a “KeywordExists” exclude filter that prevent the
DataFlow from failing if a keyword in the job file from the previous
FlowPoint doesn't exist. Although you can add additional filters to these
FlowPoints, you should leave these filters unchanged.

To create a filter, specifying whether jobs should be explicitly
included or explicitly excluded by the FlowPoint, select Process
only the jobs specified by the filters
.

If you want to process only the jobs that meet your filter criteria,
specify filter data (keywords) in the Include box. If you want to
process most jobs, but specifically exclude jobs that meet your
filter criteria specify filter data in the Exclude box. Criteria in the
Exclude box will be evaluated by the connector first, and it will
override criteria in the Include box.
