Advanced filtering
Advanced Filtering is another, more granular level of discovery available on the management grids. This powerful option uses database fields as the criteria along with the use of logical operators to build custom queries. Not all fields are searchable. Those fields are not offered as a selection when building an Advanced Filter.
An option to customize the filter logic is also provided.
In the Inventory, advanced filters are tied to a specific Inventory Object Type. You must either select one in the Hierarchy panel prior to building an Advanced Filter, or if your Inventory is not organized by Object Type, you must specify one when constructing the query.
To build an advanced filter
- Navigate to a grid that supports the Advanced Filter:
Inventory list view
Data Collection - Collection Status and Collector Administration
Solutions - Storage Optimization and Risk Mitigation
Users and User Groups
- Click Advanced.
If you are in the Inventory list view, choose an Inventory Object Type and then click Advanced.
- Select a field name in the first drop down list.
- Select an operator in the second drop down list.
- Enter a value in the third drop down list.
- Choose a logical operator, And/Or, if you are adding another set of filters to your query.
- Click Add Filter to add up to 12 additional filters.
- Click Show Filter Logic to customize the filter logic if required. Logic defined in this field will override any setting established on the top of the dialog.
