Drop-Down Filters

To refine the data displayed, most screens have drop-down filters at the top of the screen as indicated in the example below.

• Click on a filter category or drop-down next to it to display a scrollable list of options with a search bar above the list.
  

• The search bar will narrow the choices available for the filter based on the characters entered. It is not case sensitive and will match the character string provided.
  

• A chosen filter will persist as you navigate to different screens, if available on the new screen.

• When navigating to a Details screen from an Overview, it is required to select an Instance, Host, and/or Database, depending on the module, to view detailed data.

• Some filters will only allow a single selection, but most filters allow multiple selections. There are 3 choices available for each object in the drop-down, unchecked, checked, or an [X].

  • A checkmark is used to note the selection(s) for a filtering.
    • Click on an unchecked selection to select it for filtering, a checkmark will display to the left of the selection.
    • Only the selections displaying a checkmark will have data displayed.
    • There may be 1 or more selections with a checkmark.

    • More than 1 selection may be excluded from the filter.
  • No mark next to a choice indicates it has not been selected.
    • Any selected filters, include or exclude, will always be displayed at the top of the selection list.

    • The add and remove options will add the selection to the filter as either include with the [+] or exclude with the [-].
