Edit Filter window

This window selects items for listing, thereby filtering undesired items out of the Software Manager view.

Figure 1. Edit Filter window


To open this window, connect to the remote platform, expand Platform, double-click Software Manager and click the filter icon () in the upper left corner of the view.

Type of filter Description
Filter by status Modules with an Out of Date or Out of Date (Requires Commissioning) status always appear in the Software Manager. So do any with uncommitted (intended) status values, such as Install, Uninstall, and so on.

When you enable the filter by status, you can check other statuses to include or clear to omit from the list of associated modules in the table, as follows:

  • Not Installed includes modules on your PC that can be installed, but are not in the remote platform.

  • Not Installed (Requires Commissioning) includes modules on your PC that are not on the remote platform. The remote controller must be upgraded using Commissioning Wizard first.

  • Up to Date includes modules on your PC and in the remote platform, where the software is not older.

  • Cannot Install includes local modules that are unreadable or have a bad manifest. The Software Manager cannot install these modules.

  • Bad File includes remote modules that are unreadable or that have a bad manifest.
Filter by name Name filtering lets you include or exclude items based on a character string portion of module’s file name. When enabled (checked), you can type in a string of characters, and then check one of the following:

  • Show rows with names containing text includes only items with a file name that contains the string.

  • Show rows with names which do not contain text includes only items with file names that do not contain the string.

This feature can be useful to filter many modules with common name characters, for example “lon” or “doc” part-named modules.

With status filtering enabled, you can also Check All and Clear All Checked.

  • If all status items are cleared, only “Out of Date” and uncommitted status modules appear.

  • If all status items are checked, the display is similar to disabled status filtering, except “non-module” items are not listed.
