Quick Filter
You use Quick filter to filter out the objects by their names from the list. You can either type the name in the Quick filter box or drag an item from a column in the Alarms pane, the Events pane, an Alarm view, or an Event view and drop it in the Quick filter box.
For example, if you want to find all objects that are named “temperature”, just type “temp” in the Quick filter box and only objects named temperature are displayed in the list.
The Quick filter filters on everything that is visible in the columns of the view. For example, if you filter on “20” you do not get any hits. But if you add the column Value, you get hits on the temperature, which is 20, and the setpoint which is 20.
The Quick filter for the Event View filters on records that have already been retrieved from the server.
