The following is an example of how filtering can be used: A company with several locations has
given all devices an identifier in the Description field for the city and building where the device is
located. If a user makes a specific request such as, “Help me find a plotter in my building,” the
HP Web Jetadmin helpdesk operator simply adds a filter criteria that searches for any Description
containing the location criteria (for example, “St.Paul-BLDG4”) and another criteria that searches for
any Model containing “Designjet”. The resulting filtered list includes only devices that have Designjet
as part of the model name and are located in St. Paul in Building 4.
Advanced filters can be created with boolean operators used for matching criteria. For example, a
query could be made on all IP addresses greater than “15.2.1.1”.
NOTE Filters can only be used to find devices that have already been discovered in HP Web
Jetadmin. Filters cannot be used to discover new devices on the network. For more
information about device discovery, see the document “Discovering Devices Using HP Web
Jetadmin,” available at the Self Help and Documentation tab at www.hp.com/go/wja.
Columns
Devices or attributes can also be found quickly by
viewing the information contained within columns in
HP Web Jetadmin. Columns can be sorted by clicking
on the heading at the top of the column and resized by
dragging the side of the heading or re-ordered by drag
and drop. You can manage columns through the Layouts
tool found on the device list toolbar, which includes
several built-in column layouts (Figure 5). Custom layouts
can be created from any of several hundred data
attributes. Security, Status, and Active Directory are just
a few of the pre-existing columns that enable users to
extract data from the device environment as well as view
and interact with that data through HP Web Jetadmin
device lists.
Device Groups
When the list of devices in HP Web Jetadmin becomes
too large to quickly locate or manage devices, it can be
broken into subsets, or Groups, in order to manage the
devices more easily. For example, devices can be
organized into groups representing different buildings,
while su/jointfilesconvert/516768/bgroups represent different floors of each
building. Automatic groups can be created that enable
dynamic group membership based on filter criteria.
With groups created, helpdesk personnel can quickly
locate devices based on the location of the end user or
other logical criteria. Device group icons in HP Web
Jetadmin indicate device status for the devices and/or
su/jointfilesconvert/516768/bgroups within a group container. Figure 6 shows a
number of different device group icons:
“+” (on the left side of some of the icons): The group
contains a nested group or su/jointfilesconvert/516768/bgroup.
Yellow triangle overlaid: Devices in a warning state.
Red circle overlaid: Devices in an error state.
