The Filter Configuration Dialog allows operators to define how individual filters behave when applied to the device inventory table.Each filter provides two key parameters: operation type (comparison rule) and value selection (data to match).


Filter configuration dialog - operation and values

The Operation field in the filter dialog defines how the selected attribute (e.g., Site, Vendor, Model) is compared against one or more values. Different operations support various logical and text-matching rules, enabling highly flexible filtering across all monitored devices.
