The Category Filter Manager is the default view of
CategoryFilters under the SupervisorExportTagNetworkExt in the Supervisor station. Double-click this container slot to access this view, as shown in Figure 13.
The order of CategoryFilters can be important, as they are evaluated in order from “top down”, as only one CategoryFilter (and associated category mask) is applied to any NiagaraStation. In other words, category masks are not “multiplexed”
or “additive”.
As needed, use this view for adding, editing, reordering, and reviewing child
CategoryFilter components. Default columns displayed in the Category Filter Manager include the following:
Name
Name of each CategoryFilter component, which must be unique.
Station Info Property Filters
Currently configured “Station Info Property Filters”, using “slotName -> propertyValue” notation. If multiple filters, each is separated by a comma (,).
Category Mask
The category(ies), by name, currently assigned to each CategoryFilter, where a comma (,) separates each one if multiples are assigned.
Buttons at the bottom of this view allow you to make or existing CategoryFilter components. See the next section CategoryFilters.
