Use this tab to further refine the results of a query.
Criteria
Displays the criteria expression, with one criterion per line
and nested terms indented. You can use this table to view, add,
modify, or delete query criteria. Also, you can change the order of
the criteria, group elements in a criteria statement, and modify
query operators.
Click to open the General tab of the Criterion Properties dialog box, which you
can use to add a new query criterion. If the Criteria table
is not empty, the criterion will be ANDed with the currently
selected expression. If nothing is selected, the criterion will be
ORed with the last expression in the table.
Click to open the General tab of the Criterion Properties dialog box, which you
can use to modify the properties of a query criterion.
Click to remove the selected criterion from the query
criteria.
Click to group the selected elements of the query statement.
Group parentheses are inserted around
the selected statement.
Click to ungroup the selected elements of the query statement.
The group parentheses are removed from the selected statement.
Also, you can select and remove a single group parenthesis, and the
matching group parenthesis will also be removed.
Click to change a selected OR in the criteria to an
AND, and vice versa. For more information about logical
operators, see About Logical
Operators.
Click to add a NOT operator to the query criteria. You
must select the elements of the query statement to which you want
to apply this operator. The selected portion of the query statement
that is enclosed in group parentheses and the NOT operator
are added to the preceding line. You can also use this button to
remove a selected NOT operator (the group parentheses are
removed automatically). For more information about logical
operators, see About Logical
Operators.
Show Query Language
Opens the Query Statements dialog
box to display the query in Query Language view. You can work
in Query Language view to compose or edit a query manually using
WBEM Query Language
(WQL) commands.
