Filtering and Searching on the Devices Page

You can use the devices filter panel and search bar to search for devices in your organization.

The following topics are described here:

From the Devices page, you can view a complete list of all the devices in your organization. Use the Devices filter panel on the left to filter for those devices that you are interested in seeing. With the enhanced device search at the top of the page, you can narrow down that filtered data even more using a partial matching search across multiple device fields.

Device Filter Panel

The filter panel is made up of various options to fine-tune your search. When you select any of the individual filters, a number in parentheses shows how many are selected. You can clear selections individually, or select Clear All. The panel can also be collapsed. These settings are saved in the URL. When you navigate to other pages and return to the page, your settings are maintained.

By default, this list shows all devices, including devices that are excluded from reporting. To hide these devices, uncheck the Show Excluded From Reports. See Device Details for information about excluding devices from reporting.

Device Status

To filter the list of devices by device status, select from the following options available from the device filter panel. The resulting list of devices updates immediately when an option is selected.

You can select from Connected or Disconnected, which are mutually exclusive options:

You can select from Up To Date, Failed Update Attempts, or Scheduled, which are mutually exclusive options:

You can also select Needs Attention, or one or more of the Needs Attention subcategories (Not Compatible, Needs Reboot, Disconnected for 30+ Days). This provides a more granular way to see which devices need attention, and for what reason.

The filter logic has been improved, and will now show devices that meet one or more of the selected criteria, so you can get more clarity on the status of your devices.

The following filter statuses can also be selected, to specify Recently Added (Last 7 Days), or devices that are Excluded from Reports:

Device Info

To filter the list of devices by device name, tags, IP address, last logged in user or serial number, select from the Device Info drop-down menu. You can search by all filters concurrently. Searches allow partial matching. For example, you can enter win in the Hostname field to retrieve all devices that have that term in the hostname.

Hide/Show Filter Panel

You can hide or show the Device filter panel by clicking the arrow. The filter panel shows by default.

Enhanced Device Search

This searches across multiple fields:

When you enter search criteria in the search bar, each entry is shown in the search bar. To remove a query, click x. You can add as many search items as you want. The results will include any matching data and will not exclude other matches.
