CAML Help
Collaborative Application Markup Language (CAML), based on XML language, is
used in defining sites and lists, including fields, views, or forms in
Microsoft� Windows� SharePoint� Services. For more information on CAML, see the
MSDN article
Introduction to Collaborative Application Markup Language (CAML).
CAML can be used in a number of ways, but in the Bamboo List Rollup Web Part,
it is mainly used for defining front-end list or view definitions. For example,
when selecting lists or views to include in a List Rollup, you may want to
filter the list or view for use in a List Rollup data view. Some examples for
implementing a CAML filter are as follows:
�
To filter a list or view so users only see data
where Status is equal to �Not Started�, type the following:
<Where>
<Eq>
<FieldRef Name='Status' />
<Value Type='Choice'>Not
Started</Value>
</Eq>
</Where>
�
To filter a list or view so users only see data
where Priority is equal to �High� and Status does not equal �Completed�, type
the following:
<Where>
<And>
<Eq>
<FieldRef
Name='Priority' />
<Value
Type='Choice'>(1) High</Value>
</Eq>
<Neq>
<FieldRef Name='Status' />
<Value
Type='Choice'>Completed</Value>
</Neq>
</And>
</Where>
To download and install a free tool that enables you to build CAML filters
quickly and easily, go to

CAML Query Builder for SharePoint 2003.
Applying a CAML filter to a list or view is entirely optional. You can always
filter the list or view in SharePoint to suit your needs prior to including it
in the List Rollup data view.
