The feature 'Browse objects' allows searching for resources that meet the specific criteria. Use Visual Mode to search for objects using the list view builder.
...
Starting a new search you have two sections to work with: 1) Filter Criteria and 2) Columns to Display.
1. Setting Up Filters
Click ''+Add filter'' to add a new filter criteria. A filter criteria consists of a field name, a logical operator and a value. You can select a field name from the drop-down list or type the name in the search bar:
...
Example: Here we refer to AWS Account which is a master object for AWS EC2 Instance, and retrieve its related field 'Account Name'. Setting up a certain value or criteria, we can narrow the search scope, i.e. AWS accounts containing 'test' in their names will be excluded. Having added the field 'State Name' along with the operator ‘equals’ and the value set up as 'running', we managed the search to display all running instances only.
Field Type
Select 'Standard' to see the list of all fields, except JSON fields.
...
The element number can be replaced by the wildcard symbol * to refer to all elements: $[“Fieldname with whitespaces”][*]
Logical Operators
equals | Use for an exact match |
not equal | Use for an exact match with a certain value excluded |
greater than | Use when you want results that exceed the value you enter |
greater or equal | Use for results that match or exceed the value you enter |
less than | Use for results that are less than the value you enter |
less or equal | Use for results that match or are less than the value you entered |
| contains | Use for fields that include your search string |
| not contains | Use to eliminate records that don’t contain the value you enter |
| like | Use to locate records that include the exact value you enter or type % to include a certain part of the value entered, e.g. `Account`.`Account Name` like test will search for all account names containing test |
| not like | Use to locate records that exclude the exact value you enter or type % to exclude a certain part of the value entered, e.g. `Instance Name or ID` not like %environ% will search for all instance names and IDs, except the ones containing -environ- |
| starts with | Use for results that start with a certain value |
Grouping Filters
You can combine several conditions within one group of filters. Click AND to select the condition operator (AND or OR):
...
Example: In this example we initiate a search for all instances that are present in AWS and running, but we also want to exclude the instances containing ‘test’ and ‘dev’ in their names. Instead of looking for appropriate operators with a negative value for each filter criteria, we simply group the required filters and apply negation to the whole filter group.
2. Setting Up Columns
You can manage the columns which will be displayed in the list. Click "+Add column" to add columns. Click the 'label' icon to change a column name if necessary:
...
Select the sorting order for assets in a column: ASC for ascending or DESC for descending.
Sorting Columns
Hover over triple dots on the left and drag a column up or down to manage the order of columns in the list:
