Defining Filter Criteria

For the Jobs, Scheduled Jobs, and Notifications tabs, the items listed in the tabs depend upon the defined filter criteria shown in the Filter drop down box just above the listed items. In the Filter drop down box you can choose from canned filters or custom filters that you define.

To define filtering criteria:
  1. Do one of the following to open the Filter Criteria dialog box:
    • Click the Filter icon next to the Filter drop down box just above the listed items you wish to filter.
    • Right-click within the listed items you wish to filter and choose the filter option from the shortcut menu.
    The screen shown here is the filter criteria dialog box for the Parent Job pane in the Jobs tab. While the definable criteria that appear in a dialog box vary based on what you are filtering, the steps for defining criteria are the same.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • To create a new job filter, click Add and then name the filter.
    • To edit an existing job filter, click the job filter you wish to edit in the list box to the left.
    • To delete a job filter, click the job filter you wish to delete in the list box to the left and then click Remove.
  3. If you are creating or editing a job filter, define the filter criteria as desired.
  4. Click OK.
  5. To apply a new or edited filter, choose the filter name from the Filter drop down box just above the listed items you wish to filter.
