number, using the page navigation buttons, or using the filter. Either the Basic or Full screens can be set
as the default screen for selecting target devices.
Filtering
You may filter the list of target devices by providing a text string that will be used to retrieve matching
items. Filtering can provide a shorter, more exact list of items. When filtering is performed, the Name
column is searched for the specified text string. The search is not case sensitive. When filtering, you may
use an asterisk (*) before or after text strings as a wildcard. For example, typing emailserver* and clicking
Filter will display items with emailserver at the beginning (such as emailserver, emailserverbackup).
