Usage Collection Filter Creation Wizard

Use the Usage Collection Filter Creation wizard to create new usage collection filters.

To create a new collection filter:

  1. On the Operations tab, click Usage Management, and then click Collection Filters.
  2. Click the Create New Filter toolbar button. The wizard opens.
  3. To configure the filter parameters, type the filter criteria into each text box.

    Only type values for those fields that you wish to filter usage data against. Empty text boxes are ignored and not used as part of the filter criteria.

    Note: To track all applications on agent computer, in the File/Application Name text box, type the value as *.

    The values that you type are compared to the file header in the software executable file to determine if the collected usage data meets the filter criteria.

    To determine how to filter for a specific piece of software, see Dashboards .

    Note: Configuring filters to collect and report on more than 50 applications results in a large amount of data that can create severe reporting performance issues over time.

  4. Click Create.
  5. Click Close to exit the wizard.

    A new filter is added to the Collection Filters list.
