GUS Slot Selector Enhancements for RW 6.5 / May 2014
Phil Weinstein, CADSWES, 5-12-2014

These two enhancements were made to the general Slot Selector for RiverWare 6.5:

1. The Slot Column Label filter was enhanced to hide the multiple-column slots not having any columns with labels matching the specified wildcard pattern.
2. A "Table (Multiple Cell)" selection option was added to the Slot Type filter.

(1) Slot Column Label filter enhancement

The Slot Column Label filter used to hide only column-sub-items in special selection modes where individual Table slot or AggSeries slot columns were being presented for selection. It had no effect for normal slot selections. This had been reported as a bug; see Gnats 5426 ("Slot Column Label filter does not work when selecting slots").

This filter now has the additional effect of hiding slots (slot items, or top-level items in the slot/column treeview) which don't have any columns with labels matching the wildcard pattern:

(2) Slot Type filter: New "Table (Multiple Cell)" Option

The Slot Type filter has a variation of the "Table" filter value to show only Table slots having at least two cells.

The "Table (Multiple Cell)" filter value hides all single-cell Table slots. Many such slots were defined on simulation objects before Scalar slots were added to RiverWare -- they are functionally scalars, not really tables. (At some point, we will probably migrate those single-cell Table slots to Scalar slots).
