Filtering items based on properties in I/O Studio

In the I/O Explorer pane of I/O Studio, you can apply filtering to I/O nodes and devices, and group them so that you interact only with certain subsets of objects that share common properties. The I/O Explorer can filter on the following object properties:

Complete the following steps to apply filtering so that the I/O Explorer pane displays only objects with shared properties:

  1. Click Apply Filter.
  2. Use the Filter on dropdown control to select a property to filter on. Alternatively, you can type text in the Filter on field to search for objects.
  3. Use the Comparison dropdown control to select the mode of comparison for filtering, for example, Equals, Contains, Not Equals, and Does not contain.
  4. If the selected mode of comparison is Equals or Not Equals, use the Value dropdown control to select a value for comparison. If the selected mode of comparison is Contains or Does not contain, type the value for comparison.
  5. Click Apply. Alternatively, you can click Add another filter and apply multiple kinds of filtering to objects.

I/O Studio filters the items according to your selections and displays the filtered items in the I/O Explorer pane.
