Activate Category Filters

In most views, you can select a Category Filter to restrict which elements are displayed. You can also filter by more than one Category at a time.

The Category Filters are selected in the toolbar of the Management Client. You can create a custom Category Filter containing any combination of Categories. For example, you can combine a Category for a particular geographic location and a Category for critical servers. This custom Category Filter combination only displays elements related to the critical servers at one location. The Category Filter is applied in all views.

Note: The selected Category Filter is applied in all views until you select a different Category Filter or Category Filter Not Used.
