View Definitions

The View Definitions window lets you further refine a Machine ID / Group ID filter based on attributes contained on each machine—for example, the operating system type. You can create and name multiple views. View filtering is applied to all function pages by selecting a Select View drop down list on the Machine ID / Group ID Filter panel and clicking the green arrow icon.

Click the Save or Save As button.
