Quickfilter

Note

Quicksearch

You can toggle the Quickfilter to Quicksearch. Quicksearch will only highlight matching objects in the grid, but still display all other entries as well.

Introduction

The Quickfilter can be accessed in all sections of the Web Application that uses a list of items (for example in the DNS zone list in the DNS section).

The Quickfilter helps users to narrow down the results shown in each list after having selected an item in the filtering sidebar. Alternatively, it can be used solely by specifying columns and values for each column to be filtered by.

How to use the Quickfilter

Tip

After typing into the Quickfilter or Quicksearch field, the number of results is shown and you can use the < and > buttons on the right to step through the matches.

The Quickfilter can be used as a free text search by simply entering a some string into the field. Then the value is matched to all rows that have columns whose value contain the string.

The column to match against can also be specified by providing the name of the column, a condition operator, and the queried string.

1type=slave
2name=^example
3name=$arpa.
