Dynamic Sets
Access to objects in AutoNOC is built on top of a powerful construct called a set. AutoNOC
sets work just like normal computer science sets. A set can contain any object. When
defining a set, you specify what types of base objects it contain (such as devices,
probes, etc.).Criteria
A set can be either a union set or an intersection set. Sets are refined by adding
criteria. In the case of a union set, you will expand the number of objects present. If
the set is an intersection set, you will selectively reduce the set down to the shared
objects.
The following types of criteria are
available for refining a set:
- Device Criteria

- Probe Criteria
- Schedule Criteria
- User Criteria
- Linked Sets
Union (OR)
A set can union all of it's criteria, thereby including all objects that meet any of the
criteria.
Intersection (AND)
A set can also intersect it's criteria, thereby keeping only the objects that meet all of
the criteria simultaneously. |
