The symbol or wild card selected in this column determines the connection between the Entry Field and the Value.
 
Proceed through the Entry Field list to select as many Entry Fields as appropriate. The more criteria selected, the narrower the search.
 

4.The Value column is directly associated with the Entry Field through the Operator column. These are F4 lookups. This is where you enter the criteria on which the search will be based. The Value column functionality allows the user to enter a portion of the actual value.
