Filters consist of an attribute (equipment attributes like Operational State ), an operator (like in /
not in, is / is not
) and a match term (like Active, Busy ). Some operators like in / not in permit
multiple match terms. To enter multiple match terms, select a term in the far right pick list, then
click the plus sign (+). You can also select listed match terms and delete them (X). For other
managers, you can create a different kind of filter.
Click
Go to filter the display, or to refresh an existing filter’s displayed list of items. This describes
creating new filters, and editing existing ones. See also Multiple Criteria Filters described in the
next section and Chapter 28, Filters.
CAUTION:
Unless you create a filter and save them, filters you make here are not preserved. Filters (and views)
created by one user are not visible to other users.
NOTE:
The like operator requires you to use one or more wildcards for it to be effective.
IP address searches are limited. For example, you can now search for an address like 192.168 (the
equivalent of the /16 mask), but not for one like only 192. Some examples of the limitations for this
search:
What does not work: a, abc, abc123, * 123,*123a234*,*123a234*, 192.168. 1.118
What does work: *, ?, 1, *1, 1*, *1*, *123,123*, *123*, 192.168.1.118, *.192.*.118, 192.*118,
*.*.*.118, *.1?8.*.118.
Multiple Criteria Filters
You can see filters with more than two criteria in a read only summary filter mode. Notice that a
plus (+) sign appears next to the filter icon.
Figure 10-10. Multiple Filter Criteria - Summary
While in this summary mode, click the funnel-and-plus button to see an expanded tree view where
you can change the filter criteria parameters (attributes, operands and values). The changes to this
tree’s elements alter the multiple criteria filter itself. Click the funnel-and-minus on the expanded
screen to display the summary screen.
