To apply filter to a report, follow these steps:
You can use wildcard characters when creating filters. The following table describes the characters you can use to build search strings.
Character | Function | Device Vendor Filter Example | Records Matched |
---|---|---|---|
* or % | Matches all records containing a specific text string | HP* | All records that begin with “HP” |
%HP% | All records that contain “HP” | ||
? or _ | Matches any single character | Not?book | All records that begin with “Not” and end with “book” |
Note_ook | All records that begin with “Note” and end with “ook” | ||
! | Negates a filter | !HP* | All records that do not start with “HP” |
For example, if you specify HP% in the text box for a device related filter, the filter will match all devices whose Vendor names contain HP.
When you apply a filter to a report, the filter is listed in the report header:
A filter is in effect until you explicitly remove it. Click the (Remove) icon to the left of the filter name to remove a filter from the current report.
Note: You can also create an “in-line” filter by clicking a data field in the report currently displayed. For example, if you were viewing a Vulnerability Definitions report, and you wanted to see only those vulnerabilities with High severity, you would click the (High Severity) icon in the Severity column.
