Overview

The Publish Filter provides the ability to narrow the list of devices and meters that a given publisher will use. This is helpful if you want a certain publisher to only publish a specific type of device, or only those in a specific folder.

Click the Edit Group button to configure the Publish Filter Record Collection of rules to apply to the filter.

Records

Records can be added or removed using the Add, Remove and Copy buttons on the lower left. Each record uses the following fields:

• Aggregate. Aggregate option to combine current filter with next filter that is added. When the aggregate is blank and the following row also has a blank aggregate, it acts as an OR next filter.  The Example section of this document explains the results of each.  The available options are:
  • "AND all previous filters":  This aggregate groups the current row with all the rows above it, then "ANDs" that group with the following  
  • "AND next filter": This aggregate "ANDs" this filter row with the one immediately below it.
  • "OR all previous filters":  This aggregate groups the current row with all the rows above it, then "ORs" that group with the following  
  • "OR next filter": This aggregate is used to separate other filter rows that are joined by any of the above three  (* This is the aggregate used when the "aggregate" value is left blank.)
• Name Text. Text used to query for object's name. Can include wild cards ? (to represent a single character) and * (to represent any number of characters).
• Not Name Text. Text used to exclude objects. Can include wild cards ? (to represent a single character) and * (to represent any number of characters).
• Parent Folder. The folder containing objects to publish. Child folders are included.  Note: the use of "Unassigned" tells ACM to look in every folder.
• RecordId. Display Name of Record.
