Filtering On Special Column Types

Some device list columns show a summary value rather than the actual data stored on the device or in the HP Web Jetadmin database. This is because the actual data is too complex to be represented in a column cell. These columns are treated differently for the display and filter features. The display feature shows an indicator in the column cell. The filter feature can act on the actual underlying data. Examples of columns like these are the Device Groups column and the SNMP Trap Destination Table column.

Two examples of how these columns work and how filtering can be used are:

●The Device Groups column for a device belonging to just one group shows the actual name of that group. The Device Groups column for a device belonging to more than one device group shows the indicator value <Multiple>. The Device Groups column for a device belonging to no device groups will show the indicator value <None>.

Filtering can be used to filter devices that belong to a particular device group by using the Device Groups filter property and the value of the device group name. An example taken from the Advanced edit mode of HP Web Jetadmin filtering is shown here:
