Using Filter for Advanced Search

Using Filter for Advanced Search

If you need more granularity than keyword searches provide, you can use Filter. Filter enables you to specify values for each field in the inventory record and search the entire inventory listing for that value.

For example, if you need to know which devices have a particular version of BIOS installed to upgrade only those affected devices, you can search for BIOS information. See Searching at the page level with advanced options.

* 
TIP: You can apply filters to devices displayed in search results.
