Main Interface

Updated this week

The screenshot below shows the main interface and the common items available across the different screens/reports.

Main Menu

From here, you can access the main dashboards and screens. Some menu items have sub-menus. You can expand/collapse such items by clicking them. You can expand/collapse the menu by clicking the Angle Brackets icon in front of the Window Title.

Window Title

Shows the title of the screen/report. In front of the title, you will see an Angle Brackets icon. It will let you expand/collapse the main menu.

Filters

Dashboard Filters

You can use the Filters button to narrow down the data on an entire dashboard or screen. Clicking it opens a panel on the right where you can specify your criteria. The filters available will vary depending on what you're viewing, though some are always available.

For example, on the main Dashboard screen, you can only filter by Dashboard Name and Description. However, if you're on the Applications & Websites dashboard, you can use more specific filters like App/Domain, Browser, Title, URL, etc.

Most dashboards also have some common filters like Employee, Computer, and Department. Other screens like Employees, Computers, and Configurations > Departments, etc. have their own specific filters, but they all work the same way.

1. Add a Filter: Click the Add filter dropdown menu and choose from the available list.

2. Add/Remove Values: Once the filter is added, you can click inside the field to add a value. Some filters support multiple values (e.g., Employee). To remove the values, click the small x icon.

3. Delete a Filter: Click the Trash Can icon next to the filter you want to remove.

4. Pin (Bookmark) a Filter: Click the Star icon in front of a filter to pin or unpin it. Pinned filters will appear in the top-left corner of your dashboard. For example, the Date and App/Domain filters shown in the screenshot are pinned.

5. Toggle the Include/Exclude Mode: Click the Include Funnel icon or the Exclude Funnel icon to toggle the mode of the filter. An include filter includes the filter values in the result. However, when you set a filter to exclude, it removes the selected values from the results. For example, if you exclude "chrome.exe" from the App/Domain filter, data for that application will not be displayed in the widgets. Note: this feature isn’t available on dashboards.

6. Clear All Filters: Click the Clear All button to remove all active filters.

Some chart widgets allow you to quickly apply a filter. Check out the Applying Quick Filters (Chart Drill-Down) section to learn more.

Widget Filters

You can also apply filters to a widget independently of the dashboard filters. Check out the Applying Filters to a Widget section to learn more.

Search

The Search field at the top of a dashboard/screen allows you to search for the content of the screen. For example, when you are on the Dashboards screen, you can search for a dashboard by name.

Note that only some screens have the Search option.

Global Search

The Global Search field near the top-right corner allows you to search for an item across the screens/dashboards/reports. You can search for any item (e.g., dashboard, user, computer, behavior rule, configuration items, etc.).

Select an item from the list to go to that screen.

Click outside the search window to close it.

Layout

The Layout buttons let you switch between preview/list layout:

UI Settings
