When you are viewing a table of information in HCL®
products,
features might be available that allow you to include or omit specific
information (filter) the table view, based on one column value or
based on combinations of column values. This section describes how
to identify and use filtering options, when they are available in
a table.
About this task
The steps described here apply only to tables where filtering
by column heading is supported. To identify a table where this feature
is supported, look for the following icon in any column heading:
When this icon is gray,
it indicates that filtering is available but not currently in use
for this column. The following table describes the different states
of this icon:
Table 1. Column filter status iconsFilter status icons
Filter icon |
Description |
|
When this icon is displayed next to a column
heading, it indicates that no filter that uses that column or its
values is active on the table. Click the icon to begin filtering. |
|
When this icon is displayed next to a column heading, it indicates that a
filter that uses that column or its values is active on the table. Click the icon to view, modify,
or remove the filter. |
Procedure
- To filter a table by using a single column, click the filter
icon in the column heading.
When you click the icon, the
filter dialog is displayed with all of the values on which you can
filter the table. By default, all of the values are selected, indicating
that no information that is based on this filter criterion is omitted
from the table .
- Use this dialog box to select the values that you want
to display in this table, and clear the check box next to the values
you want to omit from the display.
For example, if you
were filtering the Status column, you might
select the Failed check box, and clear the
remaining check boxes, to display only items with a status of "Failed"
in the table.
- To select all of the values to show in the table at one
time, select the Filter By check box at the
top of the dialog.
- To clear all of the values available to display in the
table, clear the Filter By check box.
This
is useful if you want to display only a small number from a long list
of possible values; you can clear all of the check boxes at once,
then select only those you want to display.
- To accept the changes you made and see the table that is
filtered as specified, click Filter.
- To remove the column's filter from the table completely,
click Remove Filter.
This has the
same effect as selecting all of the check boxes.
Results
When you filter on more than one column, the filters are combined. For
example, if you were to filter out some server groups and also filter
out some status values, the results would be combined to show only
the server groups that you chose to display that have the specified
status values.
