Creating Custom Views by Groups
Menu Selection: Custom Device/Hardware/Events Groups
Minimum Run Authorization: Everyone
PerleVIEW has a very powerful grouping feature. It allows you to create custom views of devices, hardware and events. By creating group views you can clearly see the views that are important to you to maintain your devices. From within each of the Custom Groups main menu, you can create groups for any of the three groups (Devices, Hardware, and Events).
A Group View can be created in two ways. First you can select to create the group from a list of discovered devices by simply selecting the device from the list box to be added to the group. Secondly, you can create a Group View by selecting criteria that the device, hardware or event must meet in order to be added to that group. Criteria Groups use operator functions for the selection of what devices, hardware or events will be added to the group.
The list of valid operator functions are listed below.
