Perspective Power Chart Filter Tag In Tag Browse Tree By Name

Ignition
1

Hi,

I'm using the Power Chart to display tag history.

I can filter the tag path using the tagBrowserStartPath attribute, but I would like to filter tags by name. Ideally, I could enter *FIT* in a field, and only tags starting with "FIT" would appear in the Tag Browse Tree.

Is this possible?

Thank you!

Are you looking for something along these lines? It's not perfect but I think it works for what you are asking or at least is a starting place for you to take the code further. I had some issues with filtering where tags had the same name but with additional characters. so the filtering isn't perfect. #stillLearning

I put the following on a change script for the text field.

	import os
	import system
	import re  # Import regex module
	
	def print_historian_tags():
	    provider_path = "Name of Tag Histornian"
	    
	    # Get the filter text and set to empty string if the text field is empty
	    filter_text = getattr(self.props, "text", "").strip().lower()
	    
	    if not filter_text:  # If filter_text is empty or None
	        # Set tagBrowserStartPath to empty string when the filter is empty
	        self.getSibling("PowerChart").props.config.tagBrowserStartPath = ""
	    else:
	        def browse_tags(path):
	            results = system.tag.browseHistoricalTags(path=path)
	
	            for tag in results.getResults():
	                if tag.hasChildren():
	                    browse_tags(tag.path)
	                else:
	                    tag_path = str(tag.path).lower()
	                    
	                    # Using regular expression to match more precisely (whole word match)
	                    if tag_path.startswith(provider_path.lower()) and re.search(r'\b' + re.escape(filter_text) + r'\b', tag_path):
	                        parent_folder_path = os.path.dirname(str(tag.path))
	                        system.perspective.print("Parent folder path: " + parent_folder_path)
	                        
	                        # Setting the value for tagBrowserStartPath
	                        self.getSibling("PowerChart").props.config.tagBrowserStartPath = parent_folder_path
	
	        browse_tags(provider_path)
	
	print_historian_tags()
