Steps for Applying Filters for Device Lists
The Filter Manager and the Filter Editor are two filtering features in Device Lists that work together to help
you add and manage filters:
●
Filter Manager: Displays all filters in HP Web Jetadmin; through the Filter Manager you can add a new
filter, edit an existing filter, or delete a filter.
●
Filter Editor: Invoked when you choose to add or edit any filter; you can also delete filters using this
tool.
HP Web Jetadmin supports Microsoft's Global Input Method Editors (IMEs). An IME is a program that allows
computer users to enter complex characters and symbols, such as Japanese characters, using a standard
keyboard. For more information, see Microsoft's technical documentation.
Building a Compound Filter
If you create a basic filter and do not get the results you need, you can create a compound filter. After you
create a basic filter in the Filter Editor, you can select Advanced to view its layers. For example:
GT([IP Address], [192.168.40.0]) AND LT([IP Address], [192.168.47.255])
AND EQ([Device Name], [HP LaserJet 4100 MFP]) OR EQ([Device Model],
[HP Color LaserJet 4730 MFP])
The Advanced feature can be used to change the filter into two sub-filters that are compounded. Use the
AND function and add some open and closed parentheses:
(GT([IP Address], [192.168.40.0]) AND LT([IP Address], [192.168.47.255]))
AND (EQ([Device Name], [HP LaserJet 4100 MFP]) OR EQ([Device Model],
[HP Color LaserJet 4730 MFP]))
NOTE: For backward compatibility with previous releases, HP Web Jetadmin still supports alternate
symbols, such as quotes (") and apostrophes ('), to enclose parameters for filter functions. HP Web Jetadmin
automatically changes alternate symbols to brackets when you exit the Advanced editor.
After this compound filter is added to the Specify filter criteria page, the Basic feature can no longer be used
(you will receive an error message).
