Filter shapes by protocol in visio

Hello everyone,

I have a view with several elements with different protocols.
I want to display only the elements that have a certain protocol (for example, let's say protocol x).

In the black square, I've applied the "ChildrenFilter" field and assigned the value "Protocol=x:Production".

However, with this method, all elements are displayed.

I've tried using the "Option" field as indicated in the documentation, with no result.
I have the same problem when I try with the "ChildrenFilter" field.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi Alexandre,
I noticed that you place the childrenFilter shape data in the group-level shape. If I am not mistaken, it should be defined in the child shape. Please could you test this update. Reference in DataMiner Docs:

Hello Miguel,
Thanks for your reply, it solved my problem.
In addition, as indicated in the documentation, here’s the correct syntax: Protocol:x/Production
Have a nice day.
