2.11 Custom Filter or Search for Lists

In the Web Interface, you can personalize the display for lists by using filter, search, and advanced search tools integrated throughout the product.

2.11.1 Filter Data in a List

Most lists in the Web Interface have a Filter option available to help you search the list and locate the information of interest. The filter applies to all searchable fields in the list, including any hidden columns. For example, on the Workloads list, the default hidden columns include custom fields, IP addresses, MAC addresses, and workload type.

NOTE:When you filter a list for a status condition, you must replace hyphens and spaces in the status name with underscores. Examples:

  • in_progress
  • pre_cutover_testing

To filter the objects in a list:

  1. In the Filter field, begin typing a sequence of characters to display only the entries with values that match.

    The search and filter apply to the list almost immediately as it matches entries.

  2. Click the Filter icon to clear the Filter field.

2.11.2 Advanced Search of Data

The Advanced Search option for lists helps you to locate multiple objects that you want to perform the same action on. Advanced Search is not available for every list.

The Advanced Search dialog is a multiple-option form that allows you to search on any combination of the following parameters for Workloads that make sense for the target of your search:

NOTE:The Global Project Selector limits the workloads in the Workloads list to the specified project. It also adds the custom fields you defined for the project to the Advanced Search form and Bulk Edit form.

You can use the Health > All Warning State option on the Workloads list Advanced Search function to see all workloads in the Warning state. For objects with warnings, you can pause over the Status cell to view the condition that triggered the warning.

You can use the Status option to find all objects in a given transformation state, such as Imported, Ready to Submit, Transforming, Ready to Cutover, and so on.

To search:

  1. (Optional) If you have permissions on multiple projects, click the Global Project Selector, then select the project of interest.

  2. Click the Advanced Search icon to the right of the Filter field.

  3. In the Advanced Search dialog, specify a value for any search parameter.

    The search filters the list to show matches to that setting.

  4. (Optional) For combination searches, specify a value for additional parameters until you locate the objects of interest.

  5. (Optional) Click Clear to reset the Advanced Search and try again with different fields.

  6. After you have narrowed the list to the items of interest, click in the list to exit the Advanced Search dialog.

    The Advanced Search icon is shaded blue when any option has been enabled with a search value.

  7. When you are done, click the Advanced Search icon to the right of the Filter field, then click Clear to reset the Advanced Search.

    The Advanced Search is cleared automatically if you navigate to a different tab.
