Model Filters#

Model filters are set up as instances of data/ModelFilterCriteria with the following properties:

Property	Description
`name`	The name is used by the macro function
`type`	The model on which the filter is applied
`criteria.attribute`	attribute name of the applied model
`criteria.conditional_operator`	optional: takes a boolean AND, OR NOT to apply to next criteria
`criteria.condition`	see list below for options
`criteria.value`	filter condition value of attribute to check against

criteria.condition can be:

Field Name	Description	GUI Field Name
`equalsIgnoreCase`	Case insensitive exact match.	Equals
`isexactly`	Case sensitive exact match.	Equals Exactly
`containsIgnoreCase`	Case insensitive substring match.	Contains
`contains`	Case sensitive substring match.	Contains Exactly
`regex_search`	Regular expression	Regex Search

The macro functions take a Model Filter name as input.

Match Model Filter Criteria#

fn.match_model_filter_criteria: Given input context data and a model filter criteria instance name, return a dictionary of output that contains a result.

Syntax: {{fn.match_model_filter_criteria <input-data>,<filter-name> }}

In the Model Filter Criteria:

The filter-name, individual criteria are evaluated to a value: True or False
The filter-name, criteria are combined with a conditional_operator (e.g. boolean AND) to yield the result value: true or false
Filters will evaluate each of the criteria for the specified type.

Below is an instance of data/ModelFilterCriteria for type is device/msgraph/MsolUser:

"data": {
           "type": "device/msgraph/MsolUser",
           "description": "Multi Level Filter",
           "name": "Multi Level Filter",
           "criteria": [
               {
                   "attribute": "City",
                   "condition": "isexactly",
                   "value": "Cape Town",
                   "conditional_operator": "AND"
               },
               {
                   "attribute": "Address",
                   "condition": "contains",
                   "value": "Bellville"
               }
            ]
         }

Example	Output
`data/ModelFilterCriteria` with `name` is “Multi Level Filter” as in example above. Input context data contains: {"user_details": { City": "Cape Town", ... Address": "City of Bellville", ... } Function call: {{fn.match_model_filter_criteria user_details.City, 'Multi Level Filter' }}	{"output": "[City] 'Cape Town' isexactly 'Cape Town' = True\n [Address] 'City of Bellville' contains 'Bellville' = True", "result": true}

Example

Output

data/ModelFilterCriteria with name is “Multi Level Filter” as in example above.

Input context data contains:

{"user_details": {
   City": "Cape Town",
 ...
   Address": "City of Bellville",
 ...
}

Function call:

{{fn.match_model_filter_criteria
  user_details.City,
  'Multi Level Filter' }}

{"output":
 "[City] 'Cape Town' isexactly 'Cape Town'  =  True\n
  [Address] 'City of Bellville' contains 'Bellville'  =  True",
 "result": true}

Instances that match Model Filter Criteria#

fn.instances_match_model_filter_criteria:

Syntax:

{{fn.instances_match_model_filter_criteria <model filter criteria name>,<field name>,<direction>}}

Given:

model filter criteria name: name of data/ModelFilterCriteria
field name: a field name from the model filter criteria instance type. The match results will be a list of this field, with the list called model_match_list.

The model filter can contain one or multiple criteria operating on the type model - with multiple criteria also combined with a boolean conditional_operator.
direction: optional search direction. Default is above, which is upwards and excludes the current hierarchy if it is not the top hierarchy.

Return:

Input model filter and query details and result model_match_list.

Example macro:

{{ fn.instances_match_model_filter_criteria CityTulsa,username,up }}

Example output:

{
  "model_filter_criteria_field": "username",
  "model_filter_criteria_name": "CityTulsa",
  "hierarchy": "nnf525b7e04a4a001480cfnn",
  "model_filter_criteria": {
      "usage": "Test",
      "type": "data/User",
      "name": "Demo Criteria City = Tulsa",
      "criteria": [
          {
              "attribute": "city",
              "condition": "isexactly",
              "value": "Tulsa"
          }
      ]
  },
  "model_filter_macro": "{# data.User.* || direction:up #}",
  "model_match_list": [
      "[email protected]",
      "[email protected]",
