Greater Than
Ensure a value is greater than another value, numerically
Less Than
Ensure a value is less than another value, numerically
Contains
Ensure that a value contains another value
Examples: A filter for "John Smith" contains "John" would be true because the entire "John" value exists within "John Smith".
A filter for "John Smith" contains "John Doe" would be false, because the entire "John Doe" value does not exist within "John Smith".
Does Not Contain
Ensure that a value does not contain another value. Same as the 'Contains' example above, but opposite.
Length Greater Than
Ensure a value's text length is greater than a certain number of characters
Length Less Than
Ensure a value's text length is less than a certain number of characters
Date After
For comparing 2 dates to ensure one is after the other
