How can I filter data according to time?


The filter option known as SmartFilter in Sedrix allows data or entries displayed in many views to be filtered intelligently according to certain time criteria, provided they have a time stamp. This is especially the case for measurement data (see the section on general information on measurement data) and for log entries.
For example, in a measuring point view or a device channel view you can limit the measurement data to be displayed. Or when displaying logs, you can limit the log entries to be displayed to the time period that is currently of interest / relevant to you.

The currently valid SmartFilter time interval is displayed at the top left of the views that offer this functionality, under the name of the displayed object:

The currently selected SmartFilter settings can be viewed and changes at any time, by clicking on the funnel symbol

to the right of the displayed SmartFilter time interval. Make your changes and click on "Update" to carry out the changes. The properties that can be specified in the SmartFilter settings are explained in more detail below.

Interval mode "Fixed time period"

  • User-defined
    Specify the time period by entering an absolute "Start time" and "End time".

  • Calendar week
    Specify the time period by entering "Year" and "Calendar week" of the selected year.

  • Month
    Specify the time period by entering "Year" and "Month" of the selected year.

Interval mode "Relative time period" / "Show data of last..."

Specify the time period by selecting a unit of time (minutes, hours, days, weeks, months) and a number of this unit relative to the current date.
As an example, for the setting "Show data of last 7 days", the time period covers the data of the previous week (as of today).

Interval mode "Last available date" / "Show last available data plus..."

Specify the time period by selecting a unit of time (minutes, hours, days, weeks, months) and a number of the unit relative to the last measurement of the channels to be displayed.
If the last data was recorded a week ago and if the setting "Show last available data plus 7 days" was selected, the time period covers the data of the next-to-last week.

The SmartFilter settings remain active and therefore always apply to views that are opened in parallel browser windows or tabs.
