Field Values and Syntax

Review the fields that are mentioned in Open Plan with their values and syntax, which are useful when you are creating a calculated field or a filter.

For example, if you want to see only activities that have an EVT type set to Steps, you can create this filter: EVT=[EVTE.N].

The tables below list the fields that are mentioned in Open Plan with their values and syntax.
