When viewing the log it is often difficult to focus on the specific data you want to see. The log
filters allow you to select:
 Only a specific type of long entry such as Notes, Sends, Receives, etc.
 Only entries for selected devices, programs, groups, and controllers
 Only entries for a specific date, time, or range of dates and times.
In addition to selecting the type of entries to view, you can also specify the order these entries
display in the log viewer.
Each filter you create must be given a name. Once you have created a filter, it is saved with your
home design file.
To select a filter, click on the log viewer tab of the inspector and select the filter’s name from the
dropdown list. The log will now only show those log elements that match the conditions in the
filter. The number of entries shown in the log viewer is shown as
nn / mm. Where nn is the
number of entries that match the criterion on the filter and
mm is the total number of entries in the
log.
To create a new filter, press the
New button. To modify an existing filter press the Modify button.
To delete a filter press the
Delete button.
