How to use the mapping view for I/O auto assignment

The Mapping view is divided into columns, each of which displays information for an I/O attribute that has been auto assigned.

You can change how I/O attributes are displayed by sorting, grouping, or filtering the attributes.

Attributes are initially sorted by Device name (DI object). To sort attributes using a different column, select on the column heading once to sort in ascending order. Select a second time on the same column heading to sort in descending order. A third click on the column heading turns off sorting for that column.

To group objects by I/O assignment criteria, drag a column heading to the top of the table in the Mapping view. For example, if you drag the heading "Attribute" to the top of the table, I/O assignments will be grouped by attribute name. In the figure below, I/O assignments are grouped by attribute name. Note each attribute grouping has been expanded.

Note: Grouping is not available for the Device.ScanGroup Override, Object.Attribute Override, or Resulting Reference columns.

You can use more than one column heading to group I/O assignments. For example, you could group IO assignments first by attribute name and then by I/O type.

Columns can also be filtered to display only certain entries by selecting the filter symbol and then selecting the filtering criteria. When a filter is applied, the color of the filter symbol changes to orange.

Note: Filtering is not available for the Device.ScanGroup Override, Object.Attribute Override, or Resulting Reference columns.

The table contains additional information that you can reveal by selecting the Show Details button.
