Filter data in view tables

The default filter.

The initial filter state of a table is set to 'none' so that all known data for that table view is displayed.

Hiding specific rows by a selected criteria.

You can hide specific rows of data by right-clicking on any text in a table row, and choosing to filter in or filter out a piece of data. For example, you may want to hide all rows containing server_name_y. To do so, right-click on server_name_y in any table cell containing that server name, and select Filter out server_name_y. All rows containing that name are no longer be visible in the table when the view refreshes.

Showing hidden rows.

To return the table to its original default state (thereby revealing all rows hidden up to this point), right-click on any table row and select Clear filter. The table returns to its original state.

NOTE:

Hidden applications.

Note that the filtering discussed in this section concerns manipulating data that is currently displayed in the tables. Some applications are not shown in the table. They might be common, low-level processes that are hidden by default, or they might have been hidden by a user.

To quickly see how many applications might be hidden from view, look at the upper right hand corner of the application table, as shown in the following figure.
