Step 2 Snap in the By Name Filter

Step 2. Snap in the By Name Filter

Now that you have compiled your new reusable component (filter) and are ready to test it, you need to snap it into the Framework.

1.  In the Framework, close the Program Coding Assistant.

2.  Double-click the Employees business object to display its properties.

3.  Display the Filter Snap-in Settings tab.

4.  Click the Search button to display the Find dialog.

Enter a Like Name value to find your filter and click Find.

Select your By Name filter and click OK to return the Identifier to the framework. Component names in the framework must always use an Identifier.

In this case, the Identifier generated is the same as the short Name given to this filter.

5.  Close the Employees business object properties and display the By Name filter. You can now see your real filter.

6.  Type in a letter in the Surname field and click the Search button to verify that your real filter has been snapped in the Framework and is usable.
