In this dialog, the potentials, signals, and nets defined in the project are displayed in the tree or list view, as desired.
Overview of the main dialog elements:
The potentials, signals, and nets, as well as the placed potential definition points and net definition points are displayed in a hierarchical structure in the tree view. The objects in this navigator are visualized by the following preceding icons:

(An overview on the most important icons for project data can be found in the Icons in the Navigators topic.)
By default, the potential name, signal name, net name, and the placement are displayed in the list view. Other properties can also be displayed, e.g., potential value and frequency.
When you select a potential or net definition point from the tree or list view, its placement is shown in the graphical preview.
Note:
Nets without net names or net definitions are not displayed in the potential navigator.
This drop-down list displays all the available filters. A selected filter is automatically activated and is applied to both the tree and the list view. The "- Not activated -" entry deactivates the filter and causes an unfiltered display of the data. Click [...] to open the Filter dialog. Here you can create, edit, delete, copy, export, import, and manage filters.
The popup menu of the Filter drop-down list contains the following entries:
- Deactivate: This popup menu item is available if a filter has been set: Resets the filter setting to the "- Not activated -" entry.
- Activate <filter name>: This popup menu item is available if the filter setting is "- Not activated -": Reactivates the last active filter.
This allows you to toggle rapidly between the unfiltered representation and a representation filtered in accordance with your requirements.
Use this field, via Quick input, to adjust quickly the value of a filter criterion for a defined and activated filter.

The popup menu provides - depending on the field type (e.g. date, integer, multilingual) - the following menu items that are, depending on the situation, available for influencing the table or editing the values in the fields. You can find an overview of these popup menu items in the section Popup menu items.
