Searching and Filtering

As your model grows, search and filters help you find what you need.

Quick Search

  1. Look at the Tree View (left panel)
  2. Find the search bar at the top
  3. Type a search term (e.g., "server" or "Alice")
  4. The Tree View filters to show only matching elements
  5. Clear the search to see everything again

Search matches against element labels and descriptions.

Using Filters

Filters let you narrow down the Tree View by specific criteria:

  1. Open the Filters area in the Tree View
  2. Set filter conditions:
    • By Type: Show only specific Node Types (e.g., only "Server" nodes)
    • By Property: Match property values (e.g., "status = active")
  3. The Tree View updates to show only matching elements
  4. Remove filters to return to the full view

Combining Search and Filters

  • Filters and search can be used together
  • Filters narrow the set of visible elements, then search further refines within that set

Tips

  • Use filters to focus on a specific aspect of your model (e.g., all elements of a certain type)
  • Search is case-insensitive
  • Clear all filters when you want to see the complete model again
