Chart Details

Note: The items available in this category depend on whether you are performing a "Chart Search" or an "Electional Search". A "Chart Search" allows you to select any and all of the items listed below. However, as an "Electional Search" is a search through time rather than a search of stored charts, most of these items have no relevance to this type of search. Therefore, the only chart detail type that is available for selection within an "Electional Search" is Time, which may be used to limit the times of day to be searched.

When composing chart search conditions, "Chart Details" allows you to select...

•A Chart Detail Type – as listed below

•A Comparison Type – For chart details types which are numerical, date, time, latitude or longitude types, the available comparison types are Less than (<), Less than or equal to (<=), Equal to (=), Greater than or equal to (>=), Greater than (>). For string type chart details, the available comparison types are “contains” (the item being searched contains the comparison value anywhere), “starts with” (the item being searched contains the comparison value starting at the beginning only), “contains word” (the item being searched contained the comparison value as a whole word i.e. separated by at least one space from any other characters in the searched value).

•A Comparison Value - the types of comparison value required depends on the chart details type. String type chart details require a character string comparison value. Date type requires a date comparison value. Time type requires a time comparison value. Latitude requires a geographic latitude comparison value and Longitude requires a geographic longitude comparison value.

Note: String comparison types are always case insensitive.

Note: If you wish to test for a range of values, then you must create two conditions combined with a Boolean operator. For example, to test for times between 9am and 5pm, you would need to use two conditions combined with an AND operator i.e. Time >= 9am AND Time < 5pm.
