How do I create and apply a filter to a folder?

Create a filter using the Filters task.

Create a Basic or Advanced filter, and then apply it to a folder.

  1. From the MarkVision Professional Home screen, select Filters from the All Tasks list.

    Filter Creation dialog appears.

  2. Click New.

  3. From the Filters dialog, name the filter.

  4. Select either Basic or Advanced.

    Basic filter

    Select the filter conditions. If you select more than one condition, you can specify whether a device must meet any or all conditions in order to be included in the folder.

    • All—device must meet all conditions

    • Any—device must meet at least one condition to be included in the folder

    Advanced filter: Example 1

    Create conditions by selecting a parameter and a logical operation, and then selecting or typing in a value.

    For example, to filter out all color printers:

    1. From the parameter box, select Color.

    2. From the operation box, select Equal To.

    3. From the value box, select Monochrome.

    As in the Basic filter configuration, if All is selected, a device must meet all conditions. If Any is selected, a device must meet at least one condition to be included in the folder. If only one condition is specified, the Any and All radio buttons are unavailable.

    Advanced filter: Example 2

    To filter in all printers with Job Timeouts greater than or equal to 90 seconds:

    1. From the parameter box, select Job Timeout.

    2. From the operation box, select Greater Than Or Equal To.

    3. Type 90 in the value box.

How do I apply a filter to a folder?

After a filter is created, apply it to a folder using the Folder Configuration task.

  1. From the MarkVision Professional Home screen, select Folder Configuration from the All Tasks list.

    The folder configuration window appears.

  2. Select a folder.

    If a filter has previously been applied to the folder, the filter settings appear.

  3. Click Apply.

    Notes:

    • Manual selection overrides filters. For example, if the filter Color Equal To Monochrome is applied, and you have already manually selected various color printers, those manually selected printers remain in the folder.
    • If you want to apply a previously created filter, click Load Filter, and then choose the filter.
