public interface ISystemFilterString

extends IRSEBaseReferencedObject, IAdaptable, IRSEModelObject

A filter string is a pattern used by the server-side code to know what to return to the client. A filter contains one or more filter strings. Basically, its nothing more than a string, and its up to each consumer to know what to do with it. Generally, a filter string edit pane is designed to prompt the user for the contents of the string in a domain-friendly way.
