Use the Filter pane to filter the tags listed in the Tags pane according to criteria that you specify. You can filter tags by name, description, and I/O address.
The following wildcard characters are supported:
|
Wildcard Character |
Filter Function |
|---|---|
|
% |
Any string of zero or more characters. |
|
_ |
Any single character. |
|
[ ] |
Any single character within the specified range or set. For example:
|
|
[^] |
Any single character not within the specified range or set. For example:
|
For example, to find all tag names ending with "level," enter "%level." Filter criteria are not case-sensitive.
Note: Wildcard characters cannot be treated literally in a filter; they will always act as wildcard characters.
When the Servers pane and the Filter pane are both visible, the filter conditions apply to the selected group in the Servers pane. When the Servers pane is hidden, the filter applies to all of the tags for the selected Historian.
To apply a filter
-
In the Server field, specify or verify the server.
This field is not available if the Servers pane is visible.
-
In the Tag name field, enter the string to match for the tagname.
-
In the Description field, enter the string to match for the description.
-
In the I/O Address field, enter the string to match for the I/O address.
-
Select Exact match to search for tags that exactly match the entire string that you provided for the tagname and/or description fields.
For example, if you specify "level" as the tagname and do not select Exact match, any tagname that contains the string "level" appears. This will include tagnames such as "ReactLevel," "ProdLevel," and "$AccessLevel."
