## Filter Operators

Use these operators when building filters for most objects.

- equals
- notEquals
- greaterThan
- lessThan
- isNull
- isNotNull
- greaterThanOrEqual
- lessThanOrEqual
- between
- IN
- like

The following operators work only for the DataFilter property:

- existsInString
- existsInStringAsAWord
- notExistsInString
- beginsWith
- endsWith
- contains
- notContains
- isAnniversary
- isNotAnniversary
- greaterThanAnniversary
- lessThanAnniversary

The IN property evaluates to **True** if the value of the specified property is in the specified list.
