Saved Filters Tree

The Saved Filters tree tree allows you to create and save frequently used filters. Utilizing this tree with the Tag Bundles Tree makes it a powerful tool. You can save time by not having to go to folio and re-query the same filters every time or memorize the different filters.

Using Saved Filters

To use the Saved Filters tree, set it as visible in the Select Tree drop-down. Once visible, you can select it in the Available Trees panel.

View Records Returned by a Saved Filter

Once you have created a Saved Filter, you can view the records it returns by selecting the Saved Filter under the parent tree in Available Trees panel.

The results of the filter are be displayed on the right side on the Grid View. The results returned are the same as if you had run the query in folio. In this example, we're querying for all the points with navName of "Damper" and under a specific floor.
