Filter searches

When you view searches, you are viewing all search definitions that all FactoryTalk AssetCentre users in your system have created. The list of search definitions can become quite long, therefore, it is important to be able to filter search definitions to see only those you want to see.
Prerequisites

    View a Search

    View > Searches
    , or click the

  4. Type the criterion in the cell or position the pointer in the cell and click the drop-down arrow to select one of the following options:
