Filters – using

Filters that are specific to a list pane are displayed near the screen name. Clicking a filter and selecting or entering a filter value changes the items that are displayed in the list pane.

In the following example, the current filter (the filter being specified) is the middle filter. Properties have already been selected in the left and right filters.

Filter selector legend

  • Bold black. The property (column) is displayed in list pane and can be selected for the current filter.

  • Bold gray. The property (column) is displayed in the list pane but cannot be selected for the current filter because it already is selected in another filter.

  • Normal black. The property (column) is not displayed in the list pane but the property is known and can be selected for the current filter.

  • Normal gray. The property (column) is not displayed in the list pane and cannot be selected for the current filter because it already is selected in another filter.

Filter values

  • Many filter values can be selected from the filter menus. For example, the Provisioning filter allows you to filter the list pane for Full, Thin, or All provisioning.

  • Filters also allow you to filter by the name of an object. For example, the Names filter allows you to filter the list pane for items that include the characters test in the item name.

  • Some filters allow you to include numeric operators (<, <=, =, >, >=) and values. For example, the Virtual Size filter allows you to filter the list pane for virtual volumes whose virtual size is greater than 50 GiB.
