Use Filters

You can filter most Entré modules. Filters quickly sort through large quantities of items that would be impractical to view simultaneously.

Press the arrow next to Filter to access filter preset options:

• No Filter: Show all items without filtering.

• Default Filter: Display the profile's default view.

Configure an Operator Profile's Default Filter

To configure the default filter for operator profiles, complete the following steps.

1. Go to Configuration > Operator Profiles.

2. Select a profile.

3. Select Edit.

4. Go to Modules > Configuration > Operator Profiles.

5. Configure the default filter for operator profiles as needed, then press OK.

Configure the Default Filter for Events

To configure the default filter for events, complete the following steps.

1. Go to Monitoring > Events.

2. Ensure that Allow access to module checkbox is selected, then select Default Filter.

3. A Filter window will open, allowing the operator to configure the following options as desired:

   • Presets: Displays preset filtering options. A check mark next to the filter defines whether or not the filter is currently in use.

   • Preset Manager: Allows configuration and manage preset filter.

   • Edit Filter: View or edit the current filter.

   • Max. rows: Specify the maximum number of items (rows) to be displayed for the current table.

4. Press OK, then select Save and Close.

Filter Events

For this example, we'll create a filter for access denied events within a selected time period.

1. Go to Monitoring > Events > Filter.

2. Select a time period for the filter. In Window, select This month.

3. Select Choose.

4. In Access select Access Denied.

5. Select the right arrow to move Access Denied to the Selected items field.

6. Select OK.

7. Select the Device section. In Type, select Device.

8. Select OK to filter by the criteria selected. The window will close and the table view of the module will be updated to reflect the current filter.

   • Note: All incoming events will be filtered according to the current filter criteria.

Configure the Filter Criteria

When you are editing or viewing a filter, filter criteria can be configured. Select Filter, then choose one of the following filter exclusive actions in the General section:

• View Query: View and modify the filter SQL query. This feature is intended for advanced operators.

• Save as Preset: Save the current filter criteria as a preset for later use. Once a filter is saved as a preset, it may be selected from the Filter drop-down.

• Reset: Resets the filter to default settings.
