The property filter requires a name, the property to be filtered on to be selected (either via the dropdown or browse button)

The Operator for the comparison is also required. P&ID Integrity allow Greater than (>), Greater than or equal(=>), Less than(<), Less than or Equal(<=), Does not equal(!=) and Equals(==) as operators. There are two options for properties with lists. "In" allows the user to select acceptable values from a dropdown list. "Not in" allows user to select values from a dropdown list which are not acceptable.

The user must then set the Value to be filtered against, there are 5 filter options

  • Value: Units - To compare the property against a unit value. User may select the units they wish for the property to be compared against
  • Value: Number - To compare the property against a numerical value
  • Value: Text - To compare the property against a text string. To enter a blank text field type a space in the field
  • Value: Regex - User can use Regular Expressions to create complex search algorithms for the property to compare against
