Menus in System Reporter often provide a way to select a subset of objects to include in a report from among a list of available objects. System Reporter provides two types of selection lists to implement this, a simple selection list and a filtered
4.4.1 Simple Selection List
When the number of available objects is fixed or expected to be small, System Reporter uses a standard selection list in which multiple items can be selected (using CTRL+CLICK). An example is the selection list to select from the available disk speeds (see 5.3.6.5 Select Disk Speed on page 5.35). Since the number of distinct disk speeds available is small, a simple selection list is adequate.

When the number of available objects is large (for example there may be thousands of VVs in a
VVselection list), it is difficult to scroll through a simple selection list to find a desired object or to select specific objects in this list using CTRL+CLICK. To make it easier to find specific objects and select them, System Reporter provides a filtered

The list of available objects can be filtered by typing an expression pattern in the text input area above the list of available objects and clicking on the Filter button.
