3.29 View List of Filters window

The View List of Filters window displays a list of view filters. The list you create in this window appears in the Filter name drop-down list on the Monitor Events and Severe Events pages of the Event Console window.

The View List of Filters window is displayed when the user chooses View from the menu bar of the Event Console window and then View List of Filters.

When the user sets filter conditions in the Settings for View Filter window and clicks the OK button in the View List of Filters window, the filter conditions are converted into a filter condition statement, which then takes effect. The maximum total size of filter condition statements is 1 MB for each JP1 user. If the creation of a new filter condition statement causes the maximum size to be exceeded, an error dialog box displaying the message KAVB0246-E appears when the OK button is clicked. If the error dialog box appears, the filter condition settings must be reviewed. For details about how to estimate the length of a filter condition statement, see the Release Notes for JP1/IM - View.

The following figure shows an example of the View List of Filters window.

The new view filter that is created is assigned the default name Copy original-filter-name, and is added to the list. After creating a copy of a view filter, if the user creates another copy of the same view filter, a number is added after the string Copy in CopyN original-filter-name (N is a number). The first number used is 2, which is incremented each time the same view filter is copied. The user can rename a view filter by clicking the Edit button.

Delete

Clicking this button deletes the selected view filter. When this button is clicked, a message dialog box displaying the following message appears:
