Notes on Syntax

Fields in the “Search Fields” and “Metadata Fields” columns are separated using ;.
Custom fields are referenced by their name attribute, starting with a #, for example #SAP Systems.
If a custom view has multiple filters in the “Filters” column, these filters are separated using line breaks.
Each filter in the “Filters” column is 1 line composed of <name>|<value>|<negated>. Here:
- If it is a custom filter, the <name> of the custom filter is prefixed with a #, for example #SAP System.
- If the filter <value> has multiple elements, these are separated using ;.
- If the filter <value> elements are references to records, these are represented using the unique value of these records, as explained in Relating to Another Record.
  - In the special case that the unique value of a record starts with $, the unique value is prefixed with an extra $.
- <negated> indicates whether the filter is negated (is versus is not) and has the value 0 (is) or 1 (is not).
