Filtering the contents pane

If you have several synchronization objects in a folder, you might need to filter the folder's contents to more easily find what you need. Filtering a folder's contents displays a subset of the contents according to search criteria that you enter.

Procedure

To filter a folder's contents:

1. Right-click the object folder.
2. Select Filter. The Filter notebook opens, displaying the column headings in the contents pane for the selected object folder. Some columns cannot be filtered.
3. In the Values field of the Locate page, type your search criteria.

The Mobile Devices Administration Center displays only those objects meeting the specified filter criteria. After you set the filter for an object, you must explicitly clear the filter to display all elements in an object, or all objects in the tree.

For more information about object filters, see the online help for the DB2 Control Center.

Sorting the contents pane

Another way to quickly find what you need is to sort a column in the contents pane alphabetically.

To sort a column, click the column heading. The system rearranges the data rows in alphabetical order according to the column that is currently selected.
