The Entry details window has only a few controls for filter entries and these are grouped together as the Logic definition user control. This user control contains:
•Name of the filter entry
•Hold input if true - this designates this entry as a "hold filter", if this filter is true (passed) during data input the input will be stopped; you may want to use carry forward text in the filter text to clarify the reason input has stopped
•An optional data location to store the filter in
•Logic definition syntax to describe those respondents who pass the filter (are "true")
•Text to describe those respondents who pass this filter
A tick or cross symbol is displayed to show whether the logic definition is valid or not.
The text is set whenever the logic definition is valid and there is a separate undo button to restore the text to any previous setting since the last save of the project.
You can use menu selections to create a logic definition. Each test is defined using Select test.
If the logic definition contains more than one test there is an order display that shows the order in which the tests will be processed . This shows at the top which "AND" or "OR" is done first, then the next, and so on down until the whole definition has been evaluated.
