Filters

Filters are part of the optional layout element toolbar and appear throughout the GUI in the Page Control Area. For more information about optional layout element toolbar functionality, see Optional Layout Element Toolbar.

Filters allow you to limit the data presented in a table and can specify multiple filter criteria. By default, table rows appear unfiltered. Three types of filters are supported, however, not all filtering options are available on every page. The types of filters supported include:

• Network Element – When enabled, the Network Element filter limits the data viewed to a single Network Element.

  Note:

  Once enabled, the Network Element filter affect all pages that list or display data relating to the Network Element.
• Collection Interval – When enabled, the collection interval filter limits the data to entries collected in a specified time range.
• Display Filter – The display filter limits the data viewed to data matching the specified criteria.

Once a field is selected, it cannot be selected again. All specified criteria must be met in order for a row to be displayed.

The style or format of filters may vary depending on which GUI pages the filters are displayed. Regardless of appearance, filters of the same type function the same.
