Filter Proportionally condition
This is rather a flexible condition that you can use to create tickets. This condition is provided rather to use when you create a filters preset that may be used for many games, you can apply them to different games without changing filters values all the time.

It works almost exactly in the same way like the Reject if more of filter's value condition does.
The only difference is that in the Reject if more of filter's value condition you must provide exact filter value but here you can provide a percentage value.

You can set in percent how much of Contact numbers to include into a ticket.
The program will count automatically the percentage value and apply the value as a filter value.
For example you may enter 70 as percent value and in the result generated ticket will not have more than 70% of all numbers as Contact numbers
but they may have for example 60% of Contact numbers and 40% of Outside numbers etc.
Always Reject condition
If this condition is selected then generated tickets will never include Contact numbers.
To use this filter
1. Check the Use check mark
2. Filter's Value property is disregarded when using this filter!
3. Choose the Always Reject condition

The ticket will not have any of Contact numbers (shown in red circle)
but will have all the Outside numbers instead (shown in green circle)
