You use this dialog to search for existing tag numbers in the current <unit>. Smart Instrumentation opens the Find Tag dialog whenever you select Find in dialogs that prompt you to enter a tag number.

Type your alphanumeric search string in the Search box to search for the items or values displayed in the grid. As you type, the grid automatically filters out those items that do not contain your string.

  • You can type a percent sign (%) as a wildcard character to find multiple characters or an underscore (_) as a wildcard character for a single character.

  • The following special characters cannot be used when searching for an item (:), and (").

Advanced

This section contains the name of the query that your search is based on, and any options available for the specific report.

Query — Displays the name of the query in use, and allows you to change the query to another query if available.

Grid View

The grid displays properties and values specific to this Find query.

If you have used a search string then the grid displays only those items that match the search criteria. For example, if you search for a specific tag number (to reduce the amount of tags displayed) only that tag number is displayed.

You can also:

  • Apply individual filters to each column (click in the column header and select the criteria from the available filters).

  • Sort the values in individual columns by clicking on the column header.

  • Group the results by dragging a column header to the Group area. For example, to group the properties by Tag Class you would drag the Tag Class column header to the Group area just above the column headers.

  • Rearrange the column order by dragging and repositioning columns within the grid.

Any layout changes made to a default query, are not saved when you close the dialog box.

Custom Find Queries

If you are using a custom find query for this dialog box, specific Item Types and properties must be used as part of your custom query. Failure to include these mandatory Item Types and properties results in your custom find query not being available for selection.
