Filtering and Searching on the Software Page

You can use the software filter panel and search bar to search for software installed anywhere in your organization.

From the Software page, you can view a complete list of all the software titles in your organization. Use the Software filter panel on the left to filter and display only those software titles that you are interested in seeing. The enhanced software search at the top allows you to narrow down that filtered data even more using a generalized search across multiple software fields.

The following topics are described here:

Software 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.

Automox Supported

The Automox Supported filter is automatically selected by default. This shows software titles that Automox can patch. If you want to view a list of all software titles for your devices, clear the checkbox.

OS

You can set a filter to search for software by OS. All OS families are selected by default.

1. Select the OS drop-down menu. 

2. Use the scroll bar on the right to find individual OS names.

3. To search only for certain OS types, click either the OS family checkbox, or individual OS types. 

4. Use the search field to narrow down your search.
   

   

Severity

You can filter the list of software by severity. All severity levels are selected by default. See also Understand Automox Severity Data.

1. Select the Severity drop-down menu.

2. Click the severity type to narrow the search results. 

3. The number at the top will indicate how many filters are selected.
   

   

Status

The software Status filter allows you search for only ignored software packages. These packages are marked to ignore any updates available.

Impacted

You can filter the list to only show a software package when devices are impacted by this available patch. Click the highlighted number in the Impacted column to view a list of devices impacted by a specific software package.

Days Exposed

You can filter the software list by the number of days a package was made available in the Automox customer base. Multiple selections are allowed.

Vulnerability or CVE ID 

You can filter the list of software by vulnerability or CVE ID. 

1. Enter the exact term or ID you want search results for in the Vulnerability or CVE ID field. 

2. You can enter multiple search items, which will show results for anything that it matches.

3. To change your search, click x to remove the selected search term.

4. From the Severity column you can hover over the results and find links to details about the severity.

Software Info

You can filter the list of software by software title. This is a partial search of the Software Name column. You can enter multiple items or detailed items to fine-tune your search.

Enhanced Software Search

You can quickly narrow down data from the already filtered search by using the search bar at the top of the Software page. This enhanced search allows multiple queries and partial matching.

This searches across multiple fields:

• Software Name

• Version

• OS (Family)

• OS Version

• Severity

• CVE

When you enter a search criteria in the search bar, each entry is shown as a tag below the search bar. To remove a query, click x. You can add as many search items as you want. The results will include data matching any of the search criteria.

The following is an example of a multiple query, partial match search.
