Child Element Filter

All elements that are in a topology string to the right of a specific element (parent element) are known as child elements.

mdm_topology_equipment_hide_icon and mdm_topology_equipment_show_icon at the bottom right corner of an element can be used to selectively hide or show child elements.

These symbols are not always displayed — they only appear when you move the mouse over a parent element.

  1. Place the mouse pointer over the parent element in the topology, but do not click.

    mdm_topology_equipment_hide_icon appears.

  2. Click mdm_topology_equipment_hide_icon.

    The child elements are hidden.

  3. To show the child elements, place the mouse pointer on the parent element in the topology again.

    mdm_topology_equipment_show_icon appears.

  4. Click mdm_topology_equipment_show_icon.

The child elements are displayed.
