Path. The Condition
column includes the conditions such as equals, notequals, contains, notcontains,
startswith, endswith. Choose one of the condition. The Value
column should include the actual match criteria to be matched with the
Script Name or Script

column is to delete the current row from the filter criteria table.
For e.g., If you select Filter with
option as Script Name, Condition as startswith,
Value as "emp" then this will set a filter to select
all the scripts starting with the script name as "emp". Only
