Change the data view

Various ways exist to help you sort and filter the data displays so that you can see across application and server activity and drill down to the specifics a particular application or server.

Visibility of systems and applications depends on the permissions you have for each managed system and application. You can see only those systems and applications in Application Discovery tables that you already have permission to access or view.

Sort data in view tables

The default sort order. Each table displays with one column having a dark grey background in the column heading and an arrow. The dark grey color indicates which column is driving the sort order for all rows of data in the table. The arrow indicates whether the column has been sorted in ascending or descending order. Criteria for the order may be numeric or alphabetical.

All rows containing that name are no longer be visible in the table when the view refreshes.
