3.5.2.3 Filter Tab
The Filter tab allows you to define and apply different filters for data retrieval.
Name Filter
The Name filter allows you to filter data based on the Name or Description of
System Browser objects. You can apply a Name filter to a table or plot.
When an Activities, Events, Active Events, BACnet Alarm Summary, BACnet
Enrollment Summary, BACnet Event Information, and/or Objects table is inserted
in the Report Definition, a valid Name filter “CurrentSystemName.*:*” is added by
default, where CurrentSystemName is the name of the system in which report
definition is created or opened. This default Name filter can be replaced with a * to
fetch the data from all the views of all the configured systems in a distributed
environment. You can add Name filters from the Name Filter dialog box.
Name Filter Dialog Box
Use the Name Filter dialog box to add, edit and delete Name filter conditions. The
added Name filter is also added to the Name Filter group box when the dialog box
is closed.
