Working Repository pane

The Working Repository pane shows the configured repositories and the savepoints stored there. The data displayed in this pane can be filtered by inventory type and/or search criteria.

Grouping

The Working Repository pane groups savepoints by machine name and can be filtered by machine type or to match search results.

Search: Free-form search that filters displayed machine names based on characters entered into the search form.

Machine type: Toggles the display of savepoints based on machine type. Machine types can be selected in any combination. Options are:

Expand All: Expand all machine entries to view savepoints.

Sorting

The columns in the Working Repository pane can be re-ordered by dragging a heading and clicking the column. When you click, an arrow is displayed in the column heading, indicating the sort order — ascending or descending. Click the column heading again to change the sort order.
