How To Filter With a True/False Column
Filters act to limit a WatchList to the items that meet the condition(s). Filters can be single or multiple conditions which can be created from the chart, through a wizard or with Personal Criteria Formula. Multiple filters can be applied to a single WatchList. They can be turned on and off as individual filters or as a group. Filters exist as True/False columns in a WatchList.
Note: A filter in version 23 is exactly the same function as an EasyScan in previous versions of TC2000 (with the exception that it is applied as a True/False column in v23).
