What Do the Red Selection Options Do?

The red selection options have exactly the opposite impact of the green ones.

For example, the red greater than or equal to selection option causes the transaction to ignore those objects whose code is equal to or greater than the code in a data entry field. For example, the initial screen in Figure 12.11 is set to ignore the notifications for all equipment with object codes 100500 and higher.

Figure 12.11. Using the red greater than or equal to selection option (if you must).

Once again, we don't recommend the use of the red selection options on most screens for the same reason that we don't recommend the use of the green not equal to selection option. The exception to this generalization is filter screens, which are discussed in Lesson 14.
