User guide
For more than 20 attached target devices, the Target List-Full screen provides additional navigation tools. At the
Target List-Full screen you can navigate by entering the page number, using the page navigation buttons, or
using the filter. Either the Basic or Full screens can be set as the default screen for selecting target devices.
Filtering
You may filter the list of target devices by providing a text string that will be used to retrieve matching items.
Filtering can provide a shorter, more exact list of items. When filtering is performed, the Name column is
searched for the specified text string. The search is not case sensitive. When filtering, you may use an asterisk (*)
before or after text strings as a wildcard. For example, typing emailserver* and clicking Filter will display
items with emailserver at the beginning (such as emailserver, emailserverbackup).
