Determines how

the Predetermined values are parsed.

Some of the value types are simply passed on to the search definition during saving of the search, but

other value types results in some transformation of

the Predetermined values.

See Comparison Type - input Type and Comparison Type - Value Type combinations for the relationship

between Comparison Types and Value Types.

There are 8 different value types.

1.1 ItemIdFromItemGuid

Each value MUST be a GUID. The GUID is converted into an item ID.

Allows a single predetermined value.

1.2 BaseIdFromItemGuid

Each value MUST be a GUID. The GUID is converted into a base ID. A base ID

is a primary key in a table.

Allows a single predetermined value.

1.3 MultiItemIdFromItemGuid

Does the same as ItemIdFromItemGuid, except that it can handle 1-many Predetermined values.

1.4 MultiBaseIdFromItemGuid

Does the same as BaseIdFromItemGuid, except that it can handle 1-

many Predetermined values.

1.5 Multi, MultiId, MultiString, String

The Predetermined values associated with these value types are simply passed on to the search definition.

Multi, MultiId, and MultiString allows the user to define multiple predetermined values.

String only allows for a single predetermined value.
