Working with filters
The Dell Repository Manager has an extensive search mechanism that allows you to query repositories, create filters, save, and
load filters. Using the filtering capabilities of the Dell Repository Manager, you can view specific bundle(s) and Dell Update
Packages (DUPs) from any selected repository.
You can create filters based on the following criteria:
For Bundles, available options are:
● Keyword Search
● DUP Format
For Components, available options are:
● Keyword Search
● Update Type
● Criticality
● DUP Format
● Device Categories
● PCI Device Info
Saving filters
To create or save a filter:
1. On the My Repositories tab, select a repository for which you want to search the bundle(s) and component(s) and click
Open.
The bundle(s) and component(s) for that repository are displayed under their specific tabs.
2. There are no saved filters to select from until you have created and saved them. Once you have gone through the process of
saving them, then they appear in the drop-down list. Select the desired filter options from the Select a filter drop-down list
once you have created one or more filter(s).
NOTE:
Refer Bundle filters and Component filters to analyze the details of each filter before you use them for your
customized filter.
3. Once you have finalized the filter properties for your customized filter, click Save to save your search and use it in the
future.
The Save Filter window is displayed.
