If desired, you can add another condition on the line below. Select 'AND' if the data must meet both conditions. Select 'OR' if the data should meet just one of the conditions.
(Blanks): Select this item to display only records without any value in this column. This will allow you to fill any fields that have been left blank unintentionally.
