Advanced Filtering

 

Filtering by areas, zones and owners using Area/Zone/Owner Filtering is a quick and simple way to filter, however Simulator also contains the ability to perform custom filtering on case information displays as well. Advanced Filtering is accessed by clicking on the Case Information Toolbar Filtering Menu and choosing Advanced Filter or right-clicking on a Case Information Display and choosing Advanced Filter from the local menu. This brings up the Advanced Filters Dialog, which allows you to custom filter the information in the display. Advanced Filters require a filter name, and are stored with your power system case.

Note that you can also use the Quick Filter option on a case information display to set conditions for a filter just as you would for an advanced filter, without requiring a filter name. Quick filter conditions are not saved with the load flow case.

A Case Information Display will have the phrase "Filter: Name of Filter" in its caption if an Advanced Filter has been applied to it. To remove a filter from a Case Information Display, choose Remove Filter from the Case Information Toolbar Filtering Menu or bring up the Advanced Filters Dialog and click on Remove. Note that Remove does NOT delete the filter, but just stops using it to filter the data. You can always remove the filter temporarily and then come back and reapply the filter. If you want to Delete a filter, you must bring it up in the Advanced Filters Dialog and click on Delete.
