PPR Configuration Filtering Panel

The dialog appears when you select Filter PPR Content in the Authoring section of the action bar.

All root elements have a dedicated list to filter content with predefined configurations, product configurations, or persisted filters. There can be several root products, items, workplans, systems, and resources: the dialog displays a list for each root loaded in the authoring session.

If there are several root items, additional choices are proposed: Filter whole item structure and Filter all other items.

If filters used for navigation have been persisted on a root, those filters are also available at the bottom of the list.

From each list, you can select one criteria available on the root element. The chosen criteria makes the related content visible at Apply or OK.

If No Filter is defined, then no filter is applied and all the content is visible for this related root object. You can set No Filter by root type by selecting one of the Reset filters buttons.

The list shows all the criterias available on the root. Default value is No Filter, so all the children under the root are visible in the tree.

You can select a criteria from a list and select the Replicate predefined configuration check box. Then the selected criteria is automatically replicated to the lists for each root element below, depending on the business logic customization.

If No Filter is defined in one of the lists and you select the Replicate predefined configuration check box, No Filter is replicated to all the lists for root elements.

Note: In addition, you can use an implicit filtering check to filter a large number of processes automatically. In the Filter PPR Content dialog, one of the two available modes displays: Implicit filtering or Implicit filtering with product flows.

In Me > Preferences > Simulation > Manufacturing Planning Apps Common Services > Filter PPR Content:

If Filter sibling operations based on product flows is unchecked, Implicit filtering displays in the Filter PPR Content dialog.
If Filter sibling operations based on product flows is checked, Implicit filtering by product flows displays in the Filter PPR Content dialog.

In the Filter PPR Content dialog box:

If the Implicit filtering mode is activated, implementing relations are used to assess if an operation is filtered or not
If Implicit filtering with product flows mode is activated, implementing relations and immediate neighbors connected with product flows are used to assess if an operation is filtered or not.

The implicit filtering's global behavior could be tuned operation by operation using the Implict filtering attribute in the PPR Spreadsheet Editor:

Never filtered maintains an operation visible, and Based on siblings ignores the implementing relation status.
Note: Even the child operation's Implicit filtering attribute is set to Never filtered, it may be occulted due to its parent.
This attribute works as well in Implicit filtering or Implicit filtering with product flows mode in the Filter PPR Content dialog.
