Hello everyone,

As I'm currently trying to expose a contact's answer to an external system, I didn't manage to find a clear example/documentation about the filters tag in the Soap request.

Here is what I have until now

<v12:Filters>
               <!--Optional:-->
               <v12:Name>Survey Id</v12:Name>
               <!--Optional:-->
               <v12:Operator>
                  <!--Optional:-->
                  <v11:ID id="3"/>
                  <!--Optional:-->
                  <v11:Name>equal</v11:Name>
               </v12:Operator>
               <!--Zero or more repetitions:-->
               <v12:Values>37</v12:Values>
               <!--Optional:-->
               <v12:Attributes>
                  <!--Optional:-->
                  <v12:Editable>false</v12:Editable>
                  <!--Optional:-->
                  <v12:Required>true</v12:Required>
               </v12:Attributes>
               <!--Optional:-->
               <v12:DataType>
                  <!--Optional:-->
                  <v11:ID id="?"/>
                  <!--Optional:-->
                  <v11:Name></v11:Name>
               </v12:DataType>
               <!--Optional:-->
               <v12:Prompt>false</v12:Prompt>
            </v12:Filters>

From my understanding of this XML node, we:

• Declare a name for the filter
• Set the operator that will be used
• Fill the values that you will be compared
• Do some things in DataType

My questions are:

• Can anyone confirm that the '=' operator has 3 as Id ?
• Explain the use of the DataType section and how to fill it correctly ?
• Provide an explicit example of filter so that if someone encounters the same issue, he can find a solution by himself ?

Thanks in advance
