About Filtering Criterion

The filtering criterion is essential as it helps you to search for specific items. The Argus Console provides this option for the Business Configuration section.

Using Organized by

The filtering browser displays in the top-left corner of the left panel. The Products and Licenses section can be filtered on the basis of any of the three combinations displayed below. Consider the following:

• If you enable Organized byFamily/Product/License, the generated output is visible in a tree-format, in the left panel.
• If you enable Organized by Product/License, only the Product and License views are in the tree view in the left panel.

The Argus Console helps you to filter information further for the Business Configuration section. Once you have selected the Organized by, you can specify whether your search should contain or start with specific alphabets.

For example, the filtering criterion defined in the following illustration searches for all Family/Product/License data that contains the term Cure.

The left panel now displays the tree view of the Product Family > Product based on the filtering criterion.

Tip:

The number displayed next to the folder signifies the number of licenses within that product.
