![](/files/-M_dik3nyR1cMv4Bs1St)

### Settings

The action uses the following settings:

| Setting                    | Description                                                                                  | [Parsed](/actions-and-operations/dynamic-parsing.md) |
| -------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| Preceding Logical Operator | The logical operator to be applied to this filter when joining with the previous filter      | :no\_entry:                                          |
| Field Name                 | The name of the field                                                                        | :white\_check\_mark:                                 |
| Criteria                   | The criteria to be used for this filter                                                      | :no\_entry:                                          |
| Value                      | The[ ](/actions-and-operations/database/set-field-filter-value.md)value to be used to filter | :white\_check\_mark:                                 |

### Remarks

All filters, except Is Empty/Has Value apply only to records inside the collection that has the specified field. As an example, filtering for a field named *test*, containing *123* will exclude not only all records that do not have test containing *123* but also all records that do not have the field *test*.

If the Value field is left empty and Criteria is not Empty/Has Value, the criteria will be forced to Empty. As an example, setting a filter for "test is equal to" without specifying the value to check is identical to setting a filter like "test is empty or unset".
