Use this dialog to find and select an instrument tag and associate it with additional specification forms.

: For this feature to work, you must first enable it in the Specification Preferences. Click File >Preferences. On the Preferences dialog box, click Specifications > General. Under Instrument specification association, select the Associate with multiple spec forms option.

The item type displayed in the Item Type field is: Instrument.

Type your search criteria 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 match the search criteria.

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.

In the table below you can find the name of the Item Types and Properties that must be selected in the Query Builder when defining your custom find. These are the minimum mandatory fields that must be selected by you for the custom find query to work.
