The Filter Dialog Box

contextual menu; the dialog box will open. (The keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+F)

Set and clear filter combinations from the filter dialog box.

Device types can be shown or hidden using the check boxes; uncheck a device type to hide it. Input and

output Slot ranges can also be filtered from view; uncheck any range to hide it. Each sub‑section of the

filter has its own Show All button that allows the filter to be reset quickly. Once the filters are applied to

your liking, click the

ok button to close the dialog box and activate the filter. Click the c

button to

exit without changing the filter settings.

The bottom of the filter dialog box also has two global filter commands. Click

type and Slot I/O range to the default (on) state. Use

Location Column

A Location is a user‑defined text label in the Network Overview that is used to define where a device is

installed in the current Pro64 network and aid in sorting and managing devices in large systems. Click the

column heading to sort the network by Location.
