Set object filters

The object filter allows you to filter the objects that appear on the grid diagram. You can filter by [P] drop-down list (pick-list) property, [A] associated object or [N] numeric property.

If you choose not to select properties or associated objects to filter on, ALL the available properties and associated objects will be displayed in your diagram - this can lead to busy and unusable diagrams.

To set filters, on the Boston Grid Configuration - Object filter page:

  1. Click Set filter next to the property or associated object you want to filter.

    A new window opens showing the filter options.

  2. Tick the checkbox next to each of the properties or associated objects you want to include in the grid.

    Note:     If you are filtering on a numeric property, enter values for Min, Max or both.
    If only a Min value is entered, all objects with a value greater than Min will show.
    If you enter only a Max value, all objects with a value less than Max will show.
    If you enter both Min and Max values, only objects with a value between Min and Max will show.

  3. Click Save.

  4. Click Close window.

  5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 for each of the properties or associated objects you want to filter

  6. Click Next.

    The Boston Grid Configuration - Limits and Values page is displayed.

Set limits and values.
