| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| Field | A choice list based on the table and user access rights. The choice list can include fields on related tables by dot-walking. |
| Operator | A choice list based on the field type. For example, in the Incident [incident] table, the greater than operator does not apply to the Active field but it does apply to the Priority field. |
| Value | A text entry field or a choice list, depending on field type. For example, in the Incident [incident] table, the Active field offers a choice list with the values true, false, and empty, while the Short Description field offers a text entry field. |
