Filter item lists

When assigning items to objects in MES, such as the standard item for a line or entity, you select the item from a list. To help you find an item to select from a long list, a filter is included, such as the one shown in the following item selection side sheet.

By default, the list includes all items in the system, up to a maximum of 100. If there are more than 100 items to be listed, only the first 100 items sorted alphabetically are listed. A message on the page or in the filter side sheet will indicate this condition. The item identifier by which the items are sorted and selected for inclusion in the list is the identifier specified by the Item display system parameter (which is set in MES Client): a combination of the item ID and/or the item description.

To help you identify an item in a long list or to see other items that are not listed, you must enter or refine the filter criteria.

Enter or refine the filter criteria and select an item

1. Enter the filter criteria using the Item ID box, Item Description box, and Item Class list.

2. Click the Filter button to the right of the Item Class list.

   The items that match the filter criteria are listed, and the Filter button changes to an X clear filter button.

3. Select the item and click OK.

Note that the unique filter for each of the item lists in the system persists for your session.

Clear the filter

• Click the X clear filter button to the right of the Item Class list.
