Filtering Rows

In order to view only relevant entries in a List Window, filters can be set for each column by entering a value in the filter field at the top of the window.

Filters are maintained for each column separately, and are equally taken into account. Therefore, it is possible to display results that match more than one column filter. For example, in the Signals List, setting a filter of A on the Name column, and a filter of ‘In’ on the Dir column will display signals with names beginning with the letter A and are of the direction ‘In’.

Procedure

Use the following procedure to set filters on one or more columns:

1. In the List Window, right-click on the required column header and ensure Filter Column is selected. Or use the keyboard shortcut CTRL+click on the column header to set this column as the filter column.

The column header is marked with bold face.

2. Enter a value into the filter field and press Enter.

Only rows matching the value entered are displayed in the List Window. In addition to the filter field for each column, the value of the filter appears in brackets after the column header and in the status bar.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 on subsequent columns to filter the results further.

All filters are displayed in the header, after column names, and additionally in the status bar.

To remove all column filters, right-click on any column header in the List Window and select Reset Filters.

Filtering to Selected Rows

Select the required rows in the List Window and select View > Show Only Selected Rows. An appropriate filter is constructed in such a way that only the selected rows match it.
