Smart folders - User Guide - BlueCat Horizon

Smart folders are saved filters and can be combined to create complex query logic. They use the same filter query syntax as the quick filter.

Smart folders can group together the following objects:

DNS: Records; Zones
IPAM: Containers; IP addresses; Ranges; Scopes

Note: DNS records and IP addresses can only be filtered with a smart folder that is placed in the root folder.

Nesting smart folders

A smart folder placed inside another smart folder will combine the filtering queries of the two folders. Using smart folders within smart folders allows you to create powerful and complex filter combinations while preserving each filter element on its own.

For example, a user creates a smart folder called .com TLD* with the filter query .com (either in the root folder or inside an object folder). Inside the .com TLD* smart folder, they create another smart folder called local* with the filter query authority=example.local.

The smart folder .com TLD* will display all zones that contain the string .com, and the smart folder local will display all zones that contain the string .com and those whose authority is example.local..
