Return to top.

Filter Types List View

This is seen to the bottom-right of the dialog directly underneath the category treeview. It consists of a list of door types with checkboxes next to them. They only appear if there are any units relevant for this permitted type. Depending which checkbox button is selected, the listview control with the door arrangements in it will filter itself to display filtered selection of door arrangements. There are two sets of filters, one is based on the number of appliances in the arrangement, and the other is based on what types of door are contained in the door arrangement. The way they work is as follows:

Door Types

Add arrangements that contain this type of door to the listbox.

Number of Appliances

Add units with this number of appliances to the listbox

Please Note - The number of appliances overrides the door types. Which is why by default all the appliance checkboxes are checked, so that the list is populated fully.
