You can filter a device list by clicking a tree item on the Filter tab of the Workspace window. The tree hierarchy represents filtering criteria. Clicking the “All” tree item (level 0—no filtering) shows all devices in the device list. A level-1 tree item represents filtering by Project. A level-2 tree item repre- sents filtering by Geographical Zone 1. A level-3 tree item represents filter- ing by Geographical Zone 2. A level-4 tree item represents filtering by Firmware version.

For example, Fig. 65 illustrates that the sample device list is filtered so that only the devices that belong to the “Chain Restaurant 1” project and deployed in “New York” are shown in the Device List View.

NOTE: You cannot edit properties of any device when the device list is filtered.

Sorting the Device List

The device list can be sorted by clicking a column header of the Device List View. For example, if you click the IP Address header, the device list will be sorted in an ascending or-der by IP address, as shown by Fig. 66.
