Building a Compound Filter (Groups)
If you have created a basic lter and are not getting the results you need, you can create a compound lter. Once
you create a basic lter in the Filter Editor, you can click Advanced to view its layers. For example:
GT([IP Address], [192.168.40.0]) AND LT([IP Address], [192.168.47.255])
AND EQ([Device Name], [HP LaserJet 4100 MFP]) OR EQ(]Device Model],
[HP Color LaserJet 4730 MFP])
The Advanced feature can be used to change the lter into two sub-lters that are compounded. Use the AND
function and add some open and closed parentheses:
(GT([IP Address], [192.168.40.0]) AND LT([IP Address], [192.168.47.255]))
AND (EQ(]Device Name], [HP LaserJet 4100 MFP]) OR EQ(]Device Model],
[HP Color LaserJet 4730 MFP]))
NOTE: For backward compatibility with previous releases, HP Web Jetadmin still supports alternate symbols,
such as quotes (") and apostrophes ('), to enclose parameters for lter functions. HP Web Jetadmin automatically
changes alternate symbols to brackets when you exit the Advanced editor.
After this compound lter is added to the Specify lter criteria page, the Basic feature can no longer be used (you
will receive an error message).
Moving a Device Group
After a device group is created, you can move it to a dierent level within Groups. To move a device group,
expand Groups in the left navigation menu; click on the group to move and drag it to the group that should be its
parent. The Move Group wizard is displayed. Click Move Group and then click Done.
Add Devices to a Group
Managing a group of devices can be easier than managing individual devices. Adding devices to a group lets you
manage all of the devices in that group at the same time. Removing devices from a group means to delete them
from the group, but they will remain in the All Devices list. You can only add devices to a group that has been
identied as a manual group; devices are automatically added to any group identied as an automatic group
based on lter criteria (Manual versus Automatic Groups on page 122).
To add devices to groups, perform the following steps:
1. Select Groups in the left navigation pane. The Groups page is displayed.
On the Groups page, click Add devices to group. The Add Devices wizard is started with the Select group
page displayed.
2. Select the group to add devices to and click Next.
3. Select the device by highlighting it and clicking the arrow buttons between the two lists. To select multiple
devices, use either Ctrl+Click or Shift+Click. To move all devices from one list to the other, use the double
arrow buttons. You can sort the list of available devices by clicking the column headers, or view more
columns by right-clicking the column headers.
4. Click Next. A Conrm page is displayed.
If changes need to be made, click Back and make corrections.
If no changes need to be made, click Add Devices. The Results page is displayed. Click Done to display the
Groups page.
