Machine ID / Machine Group Filter

The Machine ID / Machine Group filter is available on all tabs and functions. It allows you—rather than an administrator—to limit the machines displayed on all function pages. The View Definitions window lets you further refine a machine ID / machine group filter based on attributes contained on each machine—for example, the operating system type. Once filter parameters are specified, click the Apply button to apply filter settings to all function pages. By default, the Machine ID / Group ID filter displays all machine IDs in <All Groups> managed by the currently logged on VSA user.

NOTE   Even if a VSA user selects <All Groups>, only groups the VSA user is granted access to using System > User Security > Scopes are displayed.

• Machine ID - Limits the display of data on all function pages by machine ID string. Include an asterisk (*) wildcard with the text you enter to match multiple records. For example, entering the string ABC* limits the display of machine IDs on all function pages to machine IDs that start with the letters ABC.

  Filters the display of machines by machine ID. Enter the beginning of a string to find all machine IDs that match that string. Include an asterisk at the beginning of a string to find all devices that match that string anywhere in the machine ID. For example, entering the string *ABC matches all machine IDs that include ABC anywhere in their machine ID.

• Apply - Click the Apply button to apply filter settings to all function pages.
• Machine Group - Limits the display of data on all function pages by group ID or organization. An organization with only one machine group only displays the machine group in the Machine Group drop-down list, not the organization. Organizations with multiple machine groups display both the organization and all machine groups for that organization. This allows the organization to be optionally selected to include all the machine groups.
• View - Change views by selecting a different view definition. The View Definitions window lets you further refine a machine ID / machine group filter based on attributes contained on each machine—for example, the operating system type.
