About filtering tables
The system displays data in table views. Clicking the Filter button (
) opens a Filter window with which to set up search criteria (the columns to filter on). By defining exact, include, and match case properties,
you can select precisely the records you are interested in viewing. The system uses these criteria to query the database.

You can define a single filter property or combine properties. Be as precise as you can when filtering records stored in a
large database. Alarm and other data grow quickly. If a query generates a table larger than 5,000 records, a message alerts
you that only the first 5,000 will be available for viewing.
NOTE: Filter windows are context sensitive so that the available properties reflect only the data in the currently active table
view. For example, the Filter window contains
Timestamp only for tables that have a Timestamp column.
