Better Reference Filtering/Searching?

I find the DeltaV references function to be pretty hard to use.  I am on version 11.3, and am trying to see how the existing configuration uses a specific Unit parameter throughout their procedures.

When I right click the unit, and click "references," it gives me a window with hundreds of references.  I can sort by name to get them alphabetically, or I can sort by Object to get the different types that use it.  Is there a way to do both?  I'd like to filter out everything except the Phase Classes that use a specific parameter.

  • I agree with you on this; sounds like a good candidate for UDEP.

    At a minimum, allow for an easy export of the rows in the dialog.   You can't copy the rows using CTRL+C.  

    At present (v 11.3.1 is what I'm looking at), the only option is to print the results.  I print the results either to .xps or to generic file printer and parse through the rows that way, but either format is generally not clean enough to do a straight import to excel or even a copy and paste into excel.   Once I laboriously get it in excel, then I do whatever filtering I need there.
