Filter the Property Table View form

You can filter the right pane of the Property Table View form to get a better overview of the displayed properties (cells).

You can specify a filter for each column to reduce the number of objects displayed. Filter conditions will accumulate across the right pane of the form, for example specifying a filter "Pump-A" in the Name column and "0" in the Node column will filter the table to only display atoms from the Pump-A object that are connected to the node number 0.

Filter syntax notes:

The filter conditions are case-sensitive .
- The text "Pumps" is different from the text "pumps"
You use the Wildcard character (*) as a replacement for the rest of the filter text .
- P* will find Pumps and pumps.
You can use the question mark (?) as a text replacement .
- P?mp will find "pump" and "pam"
