Filtering the List of Product Subscriptions

The Product Subscription Manager page includes eight filters, in the top row in the list of subscriptions. You can specify one or more parameters to filter the display of product subscriptions. Only product subscriptions that meet all the filter criteria will be displayed in the Product Subscription Manager page.

You can filter by one or more of the following parameters. The list of product subscriptions is dynamically updated as you select each filter.

  • For each filter except Date Edit, you must enter text to match against. SL1 will search for product subscriptions that match the text, including partial matches. Text matches are not case-sensitive. You can use the following special characters in each filter:
  • , (comma). Specifies an "or" operation. For example:

"dell, micro" would match all values that contain the string "dell" OR the string "micro".

  • & (ampersand). Specifies an "and" operation. For example:

"dell & micro" would match all values that contain the string "dell" AND the string "micro".

  • ! (exclamation mark). Specifies a "not" operation. For example:

"!dell" would match all values that do not contain the string "dell".
