The objects listed in the Search Results table make up an object list. You can save an object list for future viewing and commanding. You can open an existing object list in the Global Search Viewer if you want to access the same search results without having to perform the search again. You also can open object lists for use by other features such as the Trend Viewer, Scheduled Reports, Global Commands, and Global Modify. Object lists provide easy object selection for these features.
When you save an object list, it is saved on the Site Director. Sorting order is not saved in the object list. For information on working with and using object lists, see the Working with Search Results, Saving an Object List, Opening an Object List, and Deleting an Object List sections. Also, see the Trend Viewer, Scheduled Reports, Commands Dialog, and Modify Dialog sections.
On the ODS, object list files are stored at C:\ProgramData\Johnson Controls\MetasysIII\File Transfer\Object Lists.
On the engines, use Remote Desktop within the NxE Information and Configuration Tool (NCT) to access the files. For information on backing up object lists, refer to the Preferences appendix in the NAE Commissioning Guide (LIT-1201519) or the ODS Commissioning Guide (LIT-12011944) .
