Tree Views

The Tree Views feature allow users to better filter and reorganize items within tree-based navigation in ICONICS Workbench providers, such as AssetWorX. Enhanced filtering and organization within the Tree Views allows the user to better store and navigate data. Features also increase AssetWorX flexibility within Runtime mode.

A user can now create a new Tree View in configuration mode that provides filtering and organization. An example is how a user could create a new tree view in runtime mode that contains only the BACnet devices from “Building 1” and with a device name starting with “AHU” in its name. Tree Views are stored in the AssetWorX database. Another example is to use it for viewing similar types of assets across manufacturing plants.

Filtering & Grouping - When the 'Filter' Rule Type is selected, this pulldown is activated to select the type of filtering/grouping. The ellipsis button [...] in the bottom right of the window will also be activated, allowing you to select your desired filter. For instance, with 'Expression' selected in the pulldown menu, the ellipsis button activates the Expression Editor.
