There are several ways to filter the list in DDI orchestrator to narrow down the results and locate a specific object in the system:

Filtering with the sidebar

The left sidebar provides a set of predefined filters on each page in the Web Application. Use these filters to quickly find the zones or networks you need to work with.

The sidebar is open by default, but you can collapse it to an icon-only mode. If a list of clickable items is needed, the sidebar automatically unfolds. To collapse the sidebar, select Collapse in the bottom left corner of the screen.

Selecting an item in the left sidebar applies the relevant filter to the list. You can narrow down results further using the quick filter.

Tip: When you select a filter in the sidebar, and then the Create action on the task bar, the object type will be automatically selected based on the active filter.

Filtering with the quick filter

The quick filter can be accessed on all pages that display a list of items, for example, in the DNS zone list on the DNS page. The quick filter enables you to filter the results displayed in the list after having selected an object in the sidebar. Alternatively, you can use the quick filter to specify columns and the values for which to filter each column in the list.


The quick filter search bar, including the toggle button that transforms the quick filter into quick search.
Note: Quick search: Toggle the quick filter to quick search by selecting the magnifying glass. The quick search icon Quick search will highlight objects in the list that match the search, but the list will still display all entries.

The quick filter can be used as a free text search by entering some string into the search bar. The value is compared against all rows in the list with columns containing the given string.

You can also enter the name of the column, a conditional operator, and the queried string. For example:

type=secondary
name=^example
name=$arpa.

Conditional operators

Use the following conditional operators when filtering with the quick filter:

Operator   Opposite operator  
=, == is equal to != is not equal to
>, >= larger than, larger than or equal to <, <= smaller than, smaller than or equal to
=@ contains !@ does not contain
=^ starts with !^ does not start with
=$ ends with !$ does not end with
=~ matches regular expression !~ does not match regular expression
in(…) is equal to one of the values in the given list not in(…) does not match any of the values in the given list

Two or more conditions can be combined using and, or, and () parentheses.

Note: Date and time values, as well as MAC addresses, need to be enclosed in quotation marks ("") when using the quick filter.

On the IPAM page, you can find a network containing a specific IP address by entering the full IP address into the quick filter.


The Networks tab of the IPAM page filtered for a specific string to locate an IP address.
