You can create a filtered list of groups by specifying
the type of filter and the text to be used as part of the search criteria.
The list of groups will be limited because only the groups that meet
the extended search criteria will be displayed.
- From the navigation pane, click Manage Groups.
- In the Search by field, select the
attribute from the list that you want to use to search for one or
more groups. For example,
select Group name.
- In the Search for field, either
type the string that you want to search for to limit the set of groups,
or use the wildcard character (*) to search for all groups. Whether
the search is case sensitive or case insensitive depends on the user
registry that you are using.
- In the Maximum results field, specify
the maximum number of search results that you want to display.
- Click Search. After the search completes,
a table displays the groups that match your search criteria.
- Click the
filter icon.
- Do one of the following:
- To create a new filter for an attribute if none exists, click
the [No Filter] link.
- To select an existing filter for an attribute, click on the
filter name link.
- If you are creating a new filter, select a filter type
from the list. The types of filters are Contains, Starts
with, or Ends with.
- Type the letters that you want to search for in the Text field.
The wildcard character is not permitted in this field.
- Click Apply. The list of groups
is refreshed and a filtered list of group names displays. The filter
name and the total number of filtered group names are also shown.
- Click the
hide filter
icon, or click Close, when you have finished
working with filters.
If no filter has been applied for
an attribute, the text [No Filter] displays. If you
click Apply, the name of the filter is listed
in the column under the attribute. The filter name matches the letters
that were typed in the Text field.
