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.
