Deleting Rules and Filters
To delete a filter or rule, select the associated rule or filter, and click Delete.
Note You can only select more than one rule to delete; however, you can only select one filter at a time
to delete.
Grouping
The Group By function allows you to modify the way entries, such as resource types or resource instances,
are presented in the
navigator pane, or to group entries, based on various properties. Without any grouping
options selected, the entries are group based on their basic elements. In the case of resource instances, they
are listed by their name.
The Active System Manager software screens the items you want to display by grouping and the order that
they are presented by sorting alphabetically. Clicking the Group By icon reverses the current alphabetical
sort order.
To use the Group By function, perform the following steps:
1. Select one of the following methods to open the Group By dialog box (see Figure 1-3 for an example):
• Click the navigator view action bar and click the Group By icon.
• Click the Menu icon and select Group By.

2. In the Available properties section, select the properties to associate with your working session.
3. In the Selected properties section, click Up and Down to modify the hierarchy of the entries.
If you select more than one property, the navigation tree is resolved based on the hierarchy you select.
For example, if you group first by Role and then by Model, the result is a list of roles with pertinent
models in the subfolders. Alternatively, if you group first by Model and then by Role, the result is a list
of each model type with the pertinent roles in the subfolders.
4. Click OK.
