5.If the filter is shared, you can choose to have it display in the left navigation pane under the All Devices list by selecting Available Under All Devices.

6.If you select Advanced, a text field is displayed where you can manipulate filter attributes that are expressed in explicit text rather than through a graphical interface. An example of this content is show here: Contains([Asset Number], [2]) AND Contains([Asset Number], [1], [Match Case])

An invalid string should be blocked from being applied to settings. An Insert feature is provided to place operators and functions into the advanced filter content. A Validate feature is provided to report problems with the advanced filter content if any exist.

7.If you select Basic, click Add. Now you can specify:

●Category: Specifies the columns that are displayed in the Device Property drop-down list.

●Device Property: Device and system attributes, which are the same as HP Web Jetadmin columns.

●Not: Check box that invokes “not” filtering. When an attribute matches the filter functions, the device will NOT be shown in the list.

●Filter Function: A set of standard operators that give flexibility to the device property definition. These operators will change depending on the Device Property selected.

Once multiple selections are chosen and displayed in Filter Function, you can choose “AND” or “OR” (the default is “AND”).

●Value: Provides an entry point to define the Filter Function and Device Property value. This can either be a free text field or a pre-populated drop-down menu depending on the Device Property selected.

●Options: Contains features that further describe the content of free text. Examples are “Match Case” and “Ignore Case”. This feature is only active when free text fields are available.
