Filters

To filter your data in an easy and powerful way, we designed our own query language: AWS Blu Insights Query Language (BQL).

 

How to use it?

Just type your BQL query in the filter field displayed on top of almost every page.

Constructing BQL queries

This section describes information about fields that are used for searching. A field in BQL is a word that represents a AWS Blu Insights artifact. In a statement, a field is followed by an operator, which in turn is followed by one value or a regular expression (regex). The operator compares the value of the field with the value on the right, such that only true results are retrieved by the statement. 

Types

Type
Supported operators
Value types
Examples
string
=, !=, like, not like
String with single or double quotes
name = 'file.ext'
name like 'file.*'
assigned to = "N'GOLO"

name like '^disc'

would result in all files with names starting with disc

in, in all, not in
Array of strings with double or single quotes
workpackage in ['Workpackage1', 'Workpackage2']

would result all workpackages in Workpackage1 or Workpackage2

 

workpackage in all ['Workpackage1', 'Workpackage2']
would result all workpackages in Workpackage1 and Workpackage2 at the same time
number
=, !=, <, >, <=, >=, between ... and ...
numbers
effective lines > 5
effective lines between 10 and 15
date
​=, !=, <, >, <=, >=, between ... and ...​
date formatted like YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY/MM/DD
start date > 2021/02/10

An additional operator is Empty is available for every types. This operator works without value type, e.g. name is empty.

Note

The “=” operator can be used with ‘uncategorized‘ like workpackage = ‘uncategorized’. This operation is similar to workpackage is empty. The fields available are Workpackage, Status and Label.

Logical operators

To build even more complex filters, you can use logical operators “and” and “or”. You can also use parentheses to group your conditions. Thus, you can build powerful filters such as:

(name like '\\.CBL' and workpackage in ['WP1', 'WP2']) or start date between 2021/04/10 and 2021/04/25

 

Saved searches are shown on the left side of the advanced search input. Click on the “filter” button on the left side of the search input to display it.
