Escalations perform a 'query' if you will - thus they will act on all records meeting the run-if qualification.
Filters are based on (focus on) the record being submitted / modified, etc. But the focus is the record. If you're doing a modify all action, the filter will fire on each within the modify all. Now the actions within the filter (ie push field or set field from server) will have their own individual 'run if' clause or qualification where it could push fields to a series of records based on the qualification. The action within the filter also gives you the opportunity to define what to do if no records match or multiple match.

What if I am not performing action only on single record? What in case of Modify All option. Imagine I wrote a filter; Run If : 'Submitter' != $Null$ Action : Push Field : Update some entry. In this case filter will act on all records where submitter is not null and will update entries as per push field. It is not just acting on current requests but others also. Filters are acting on all matching requests. Am I overthinking or Am I stupid? Is it too hard for me to understand? _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org "Where the Answers Are, and have been for 20 years" _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org "Where the Answers Are, and have been for 20 years"
