Filter the data

You can filter the data in a view using various parameters. For example, you can specify that you want to include rows if the column contents contain a particular numeric value or match a string pattern.

When you apply a filter, the PI Integrator takes the data set that matches your asset shape, joins it to the data set that matches your filter, and produces the subset of data that satisfies both criteria.

1. On the My Views page, select the view that you want to modify and click Modify View. Then click Next to open the Modify View page.

   Note: If you are already on the Modify View page, skip to the next step.

2. Click Edit Row Filters and choose the type of filter you want.

   Note:The filters most often used are numeric and string filters.

   Event frame filters only apply to asset views. Therefore, if you are creating an event view, this filter type will not appear as an option.

   

   For information about applying an Event Frame filter, see Filter by event frames.

3. When you have finished defining the filter, click the Save button.

4. In the Row Filters dialog box, click Close.
