For example, you could request all equipment where the

Name

field contains the word “oware” or a

wildcard (asterisk [*] means any combination of characters). The

Add / Delete

group buttons let

you use group functionality, creating advanced filtering. For example you could match all values

within Group 1 but any values within Group 2. For example, Group 1 could match “vendor =

'Dell'” and Group 2 could match “model number starts with '20' OR firmware version contains '2'”.
