Accept
Accepts the change made to a Name filter. This button is unavailable until a
change is made to an existing Name filter.
New
Adds a new Name filter to the Name Filter list. This button is unavailable
until a Name filter is typed in the Name field or if any existing Name filters
are selected in a Name Filter list.
NOTE: When you add the Name filter for the very first time, the default
Name filter CurrentSystemName.*:* is replaced.
Delete
Deletes an existing Name filter. This button is unavailable until one or more
Name filters is selected in the Name Filter list.
NOTE: When all the Name filters are deleted the default Name filter
CurrentSystemName.*:* is restored.
NOTE 1:
For Trends table, Trends plot, and Graphics plot no default Name filter is added.
You can apply only single Name filter.
NOTE 2:
For Trends table, you can drag-and-drop Offline, Online Trend Logs, and Trend
View Definitions.
Wildcard Characters in Name Filters (For Single Systems):
You can use wildcard characters (* and ?) in a Name filter. The following examples
will help you in using these characters:
● To display the details of only Analog Output objects of a device, Dev 1 in a
report, specify the Name filter as
"System1.ManagementView:ManagementView.FieldNetworks.BAC1.Hardware
.Dev1.Local_IO.AO*". When you run the report, the details of all the Analog
Output objects belonging to the Dev 1 device will display.
● To display the details of only Analog Output objects of all system devices
present in System 1 in a report, specify the Name filter as
"System1.ManagementView:ManagementView.FieldNetworks.BAC1.Hardware
.Dev*.Local_IO.AO*". When you run the report, the details of all Analog Output
objects belonging to all devices in the system with names starting with Dev will
display.
● To display the details of Analog Output objects with names starting from
Analog Output 11 through Analog Output 19 of device Dev 1 in a report, specify
the Name filter as
"System1.ManagementView:ManagementView.FieldNetworks.BAC1.Hardware
.Dev1.Local_IO.AO_1?". When you run the report, the details of Analog Output
objects with names starting from AO_11 through AO_19 belonging to device
Dev 1 will display. The assumption here is that there is a device Dev1 in your
system that has Analog Output objects with names starting from AO_11
through AO_19.
● If you want to display the details of Analog Output objects with names starting
from Analog Output 11 through Analog Output 19 of all devices with names in
the range of 21 through 29 in a report, specify the Name filter as
"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.
Wildcard Characters in Name Filters (For Distributed Systems)
● To display the details of all the Analog Output objects of all system devices
present in all the configured systems in a distributed environment, specify the
