Node Searching and Filtering

Top  Previous  Next

If System Tree is currently showing only a certain sub-tree of server context tree, node search/filter components are available in the toolbar.

To enable filtering, enter filter text in "Filter:" text field and press Enter. Tree contents will be filtered to show only nodes matching to the filter.

There are three modes of filtering. Filtering mode is selected by consecutive clicking on an icon next to the filter text field:

dte_filter_text

Plain Text

Only nodes those description contain the exact filter text in any fields are shown.

dte_filter_regexp

Regular Expression

Filter text is treated as a regular expression. For example, you can enter ^test in the filter text field to filter out only the nodes those description begins with "test".

dte_filter_expression

AggreGate Expression

Filter text is treated as a AggreGate expression. It may refer properties of nodes (i.e. variables of underlying server contexts) using references. For example, if you are viewing a list of network devices, startsWith({connectionProperties$address}, "192.168.") expression may help to filter devices those IP starts from 192.168. This is the case if address is stored in address field of connectionProperties variable.

Filter text is edited in Expression Builder.
