Find

Specify the type of devices to search for and the criteria for the search. For example, find all lighting devices with a circuit number of 66. The list of values is filtered as the criteria are defined.

Device Type

Select the device

With

Select the search criteria type (left list), the operator (middle list), and the value (right list).

If only one device is selected, the criteria value displays an additional option, Current Selection. When this option is selected, the value of the currently selected device is used. For example, if Class = Current Selection, the dialog box searches for devices with the same class as the currently selected device.

If a saved set uses the Current Selection option, the criteria value depends on the number of currently selected devices. If only one device is selected, the Current Selection option is available from the list. If multiple devices are selected, the Current Selection option is not available, and the first value in the list is used instead.

To define custom values, select Custom (in the right list) to display the Custom Value dialog box.

To find specific values, place a comma between each value.

To find a range of values, place a hyphen (-) between the beginning and ending values.

To find a combination of specific values and a range of values, place a comma and a hyphen in the search values; for example: 1,5-10.
