Element Browser
This menu option enables you to apply simple filter conditions and select the elements to
be displayed on the plansheet. You can access the option using the right-click functionality when selecting a dimension
header (top or left) of a plansheet for Resource or Property.
These fields are displayed on the on the Element Browser window:
- Attribute: List the attributes available for the specific planning engine elements (Property, or Resource).
- Filter Text: Allows you to specify a filter condition in text format.
- Selection: Displays the results of the applied filter condition. All elements are selected by default.
The filter supports the 'Contains' criteria which is used to retrieve elements that contains the specified text for the selected attribute. The filter also supports complex filter criteria that uses these operators:
- AND = +
- OR = |
- NOT = !
Note:
- Brackets () can be used in creating a filter condition to separate operators, if required.
- The backslash character (\) can be used in the filter text if an element value contains + or | characters. For example. ‘+\’ means search for the ‘+’ character in the attribute, and not the operator ‘+’.
The current filter options are applied and the results in the Selection field are updated when you specify a value in the Filter field and click the icon. You can select or deselect the individual elements or all elements, as required, in the Selection field. The filter condition is applied to plansheet when you click .
