Use this dialog to find and select items or values of a specific type. The item type is displayed in the Item Type field. When the items spread over more than one page of data, the window opens with no data.
Use one of the following options to search for data in the grid:
-
Select the Find All button to show all the items.
-
Type your search criteria in the Search box, and press the Enter key on the keyboard. The strings that match your search results are displayed highlighted in yellow.
-
Use the Complex Filter to filter the items using single or multiple columns.
-
You can type a percent sign (%) as a wildcard character to find multiple characters or an underscore (_) as a wildcard character for a single character.
-
The following special characters cannot be used when searching for an item (:), and (").
The Find Tags (Calibration) dialog only finds tags of the following Tag Classes:

-

Grid View
The grid displays properties and values specific to this Find query.
If you have used a search string then the grid displays only those items that match the search criteria. For example, if you search for a specific tag number (to reduce the amount of tags displayed) only that tag number is displayed.
You can also:
-
Apply individual filters to each column (click
in the column header and select the criteria from the available filters).
-
Sort the values in individual columns by clicking on the column header.
-
Group the results by dragging a column header to the Group area. For example, to group the properties by Tag Class you would drag the Tag Class column header to the Group area just above the column headers.
-
Rearrange the column order by dragging and repositioning columns within the grid.
Any layout changes made to a default query, are not saved when you close the dialog box.
If you are using a custom find query for this dialog box, specific Item Types and properties must be used as part of your custom query. Failure to include these mandatory Item Types and properties results in your custom find query not being available for selection.
In the table below you can find the name of the Item Types and Properties that must be selected in the Query Builder when defining your custom find. These are the minimum mandatory fields that must be selected by you for the custom find query to work.
