Nx Witness User Manual

The Resource Tree display can be filtered in two ways, by type and by text, and these two filters can be applied separately or together. Note that server and device IP addresses are always displayed in search results. By using this function, the following items can be searched for: Servers, Devices (I/O modules, cameras, etc.), Layouts, Showreels, Video Walls, Web Pages, Users, and Local Files.

Filtering by resource type

Only one resource type can be selected at a time. The type filter can be applied by clicking on the magnifying glass () in the Search field to open a dropdown menu. When a type filter is applied, the tree structure changes – all elements become grouped by type, and are displayed without nested elements of a different type (for example, cameras under layouts under users).

You can select a group from the search results (Shift + Click) or select multiple items sequentially (Ctrl + Click). You can add items from the search results to the existing layout (Enter) or open all selected items into a new layout (Right-click > Open in New Tab). Note that the cursor must be in the search field for these add-to-layout functions to be available.

Filtering by text

Any text entered in the Search field filters the existing resource display. Search behavior is as described in "Searching in Nx Witness".

Multiple keywords are treated as a Boolean "AND". For example entering abc def returns only resources which have abc and def.
