Smart Select For Instant Data Picking

Smart select simplifies picking data from sources.

Where Do I Find Smart Select?

First add a source to your dataflow that is in JSON format and locate the gear icon. Click the gear icon to see the data selection options.

‍

How Do I Use Smart Select?

There are 3 options for source data selection:

1. Smart Selection - text input to search and select data.
2. All - select all data from a source.
3. Manual Selection - standard way of manually clicking to select data from a source.

‍

1. Smart selection.

This option gives you a text box to enter key values to search and filter your source data.

‍

For example, type "waL" in a Revit source and it will display all element names that include "waL". In this case, all objects that match are Curtain Walls,Face Walls, and Walls.

‍

2. Select all.

As the title implies, the All option will pick everything that exists in a data source.

‍

3. Manual data selection.

This is the default method of selecting data from a source. There is still the option to select all or none from the list of data.
