Filtering Samples
You can filter the product fit samples from the product approvals fit page by selecting filter criteria from the Sample Filter box, which includes several filters.
To select filter criteria, do the following:
1. From the Type list, select a fit sample type.
2. If available, you can select a sample request from the Sample Request list, which is populated with sample requests that are of the same type as the selection from the Type list.
3. You can also select options from the Sizing and Color list boxes.
4. When you have selected your filter criteria, click Run. The system displays the sample requests and their individual samples that match your criteria.
Adding Filters
You can add attributes as filters to the Sample Filter box using the following property setting:
jsp.testing.FitApproval.additionalFilterAttributes=<internalName>
Enter the internal name for any attribute on the Sample or Sample Request type that you want to use as a filter. For example, entering sampleType allows you to search by the type of sample, such as development.
jsp.testing.FitApproval.additionalFilterAttributes=<sampleType>
You can enter multiple internal names as entries separated by a comma.
jsp.testing.FitApproval.additionalFilterAttributes=<sampleType,sampleRequestStatus>
This allows you to filter by both types of samples and sample request status.
Criticality
When viewing or updating sample requests, you can filter the points of measure by criticality. Select the criticality level from the Filter list from either the product approvals fit page or the Fit Information tab on the View Sample Request or Update Sample Request pages.
