Data Portal List View Find (Ctrl+F)

Status: Under Consideration

Hello

Thank you for your request. R&D has read this suggestion and it will be included in feature planning discussions for future DIAdem versions.

I would like to request Ctrl+F "Find" capability for the List View in the Data Portal.

 

Unlike the Structure View's channel/group filter, this would be capable of searching any of the currently visible properties (Name, Description, Unit, custom items, etc.).

 

Should contain all standard "Find" search capabilities:

  • Search highlighted column(s) or all columns ("Find in Selection" checkbox)
  • Found items would select the found cell inside the row (this would allow multiple entries to be found for a single channel if multiple properties contain the desired text).  "Select All" would select entire channels.
  • Individual "Found" items would become visible (if outside of the existing display window), this wouldn't be possible for multiple "Found" items.
  • Previous/Next item search functionality ("Search Up" checkbox)
  • Left-Right then Top-Bottom search order

While it is possible through a custom script to do such a search (limited to selecting entire channels), it is much less desirable to do so than to have the functionality built into DIAdem (especially considering the properties are already present in the visible table so wouldn't need to be retrieved separately).
