How to Filter Asset Templates and Grids

Both asset templates and grids have a 'TemplateFilter' property that can be used to filter assets based on tag values, tag names, asset names, tag properties, and/or value qualities. In general, tag values must have a Good quality if using a filter based on a tag's value. Below are examples of the different filters that can be applied.

[TagName]

Returns all assets that have the specified tag. (*Quality of the tag value must also be Good, otherwise it is filtered out. See Quality filters at the bottom of this article for further information.)

[TagName]>Number

[TagName]>[TagName]

<, >, <=, >=, =, !=, <>    (!= and <> are both equivalent to "not equal to")

Any combination of the above expressions can be joined using &&, ||, and, or.

sortby [TagName]

Sort assets according to the specified tag in ascending order. If descending order is desired, the 'desc' string will need appended to the end of the filter.

contains([%asset%],'string')

Filter on the asset name, in this case, any asset with 'Engine1' in its name.

contains([TagName.PropertyName],'string')

Filter assets based on the property of a tag.

Quality([TagName])=Decimal quality code

Common decimal quality codes include: 192 (Good), 0 (Bad), 64 (Uncertain), 32768 (NoData).

Quality filters should be applied first if using them in conjunction with other filters.
