Value|Option or Option

You can also use the following flags: [d] to disable an option, [g] to generate an optgroup and [/g] to close the optgroup (place the [/g] tag on its own line).

E.g.:

Optgroup[g]

Disabled option[d]

Option

[/g]

NOTE that the [g] and [/g] tags can be used only by dropdown fields.

Range fields items

A range filter can be used to search for values found in certain predefined intervals. You can create one by selecting the range filter type, and using the following syntax:

lt 100|Less than 100

100 - 200

200 - 300

gt 300|Greater than 300

{range}

The {range} placeholder is optional and is used to create a custom range field.

Warning! Do not use ',' when specifying the range values.
