Filters


Purpose

This document provides an overview of the Filter and Settings panel feature.

Introduction

Common Settings include filtering options, and settings to customize the view.

Filters allow for quick limitation of viewed data to relevant entries. By applying filters in multiple columns, it is possible to narrow down a large dataset to find a particular entry or to discover any abnormalities, missing data or missing actions.

Example

When looking for a particular hostname (that includes a number in domain name) in Assets view, choose Hostname in the Type column and enter that number in the Name column to narrow down the search results. Additionally, a scanner ID can be submitted to ensure a direct search result.

Customize each view by adding or removing the columns and by applying filters. Each view has a Filter and Settings panel. To access it, click the filter Icon_Filter.png icon in the bar spanning along the left edge of the table. This displays the Filter and Settings panel.

Inside the Filter panel, it is possible to add or remove columns, apply filters, view templates, and change column width and make it persist on your account.

 It is assumed that the reader has basic access to the OUTSCAN/HIAB account to access the Portal.

Note

A filter can be applied in the background. This allows for enabling only columns of interest while filtering by any columns, without the need of specifically having them visible in the table to enable filtering. Pay extra attention to the Filter counter beside the column name to see how many filters are applied to the table.


Date Filters

Date specific filters are presented in a drop-down menu.

All results without filter.

Anytime

Everything with a timestamp. (Empty fields excluded)

Empty

Before

After

Everything after the set date and time. (set time included)

On

"On" means on that date, with that timezone so including 00:00 to 23:59 that day.

When selecting a date in the filters, a date picker is displayed.



Column Filters

Filters can be applied directly in the column head.

Clearing Filters

The × icon next to the search field restores the search phrase and lists all columns unfiltered.

The clear filterIcon_clear_all_filters_red.png icon to the top right clears all of the filters applied to the table. Clicking the X on a specific filter removes that filter only.
