"System1.ManagementView:ManagementView.FieldNetworks.BAC1.Hardware
.Dev2?.Local_IO.AO_1?". When you run the report, the details of all analog
output devices with names starting from AO_11 through AO_19 that are
present in devices Dev21 through Dev29 will display. The assumption here is
that there are devices in your system having names Dev 21 through Dev 29
and there are Analog Output objects having names AO_11 through AO_19 in
those devices.
However, when you apply wild cards to a name filter, the report execution may be
slower. Therefore, if you are processing an operating procedure form, report steps,
or log viewer on a system, it is necessary that any reports executed on this system
have more specific name filters instead of having name filters with wildcards to
achieve optimum performance.
9.2.3.2 Condition Filter
A Condition Filter defines a filter expression that is composed of one or more Filter
expression(s).
Condition Filter Condition
A Condition Filter condition is composed of:
 Column name (Condition Name)
 Operators
 Condition value
Examples of Condition Filter Expressions
The following list contains some valid Condition Filter expressions:
 Status = “Alarm”
 Status = {“Alarm”; “Alarm Acked”; “Alarm Unacked”}
 Alarm Value = {12; “Text”}
 Time of last Change = “Current day”
NOTE:
You cannot apply the Condition Filter to Plots.
The Condition Filter also allows you to create complex filters and conditions using
mathematical and logical operators, and wildcard characters. The following
operators are supported:
 Mathematical Operators: Equal to (=), Not Equal to (<>), Greater than (>), Less
than (<), Greater than Equal to (>=), Less than Equal to (<=), and (←) In
operator
 Logical Operators: AND, OR, NOT
 Wildcard Character: Asterisk (*)
NOTE: The In operator (←) is used to filter data in a column that supports
display of multiple values in a single cell. Following is an example of columns
having the possibility to display multiple values in a single cell.
