Filtering Table Data : Filtering Overview

Filtering Overview

You can filter data by any table attribute, whether or not that attribute is currently displayed on the table. You can specify filter criteria for any number of attributes, and you can choose whether any or all of the criteria must be met. See “Applying a Filter” for complete details.

Once you apply a filter, the criteria are displayed in the Applied Filter area of the table. This allows you to verify which filter criteria have been applied to the current table view. If no criteria have been applied, this area is blank.

Note – Filter descriptions longer than 250 characters are truncated. You can hover the cursor over the text to display a tooltip containing the full description.

Note – Text string filters are case-sensitive. For example, the text string “CLN” is not the same as “cln” or “Cln”.

Filter Application

Some screens on the Drives and Media tabs are paired with one another. For these pairings, any filter applied on one screen is automatically applied to its partner. The screen pairings are as follows:

Drives – Overview and Drives – Analysis
Media – Overview and Media – Analysis

With the exception of these pairings, a filter applies only to the screen on which you apply it. Following are examples:

If you apply a filter to the Drives – Overview screen, the same filter is automatically applied to the Drives – Analysis screen, but not to Drives – Cleaning Activities nor any other STA screen.
If you apply a filter to the Libraries – Overview screen (a screen with no “partner”), the filter applies to that screen only.

Filter Duration

Once you have applied a filter to a screen, it remains in effect for the duration of your login session. If you navigate away from the screen and then return to it later in the session, the filter will still be in effect. To change or remove a filter, you must take one of the following actions:
