Hi,

We’d like to have the ability to filter a alert status table (the preconfigured one) with several DISPLAY PATH.  
Example : display alert for “BUILDING” and “ELECTRICAL”.

Thanks

Just set the item path filter or path filter property to something BUILDING\* or ELECTRICAL\*

Assuming your path or item paths include these words

Sorry for the delay.  
That is the correct solution. Using wildcard is not always a good solution but usually work.
