In Expedition, there are many different ways to setup a filter. Let's start from the beginning.

From any objects view when we press right-click an advanced menu will be shown, one of the options its called predefined filters, just open the list and select the one you want to automatically create and apply the filter.

Each type of object can have their own predefined filters but usually they are common between them

 

Case C) Custom Filters

 

Click on Filters from the Objects or Policies view to get access to the Filter assistant

A new window will show up. From here we can create our custom filter

 

  • Scope: Where this filter will apply, The more number of objects you add to the scope will reduce the amount of fields common between them to be able to search by, like if you select as scope address and addressgroups you can search only by name, tag and description because those are the fields in common, if you only select address all the fields related to address can be used to search like ipaddress, cidr, etc...
  • Field: the field we want use to filter
  • Operator: It can be equal, or contains, etc
  • What to search: Text we want to search on the selected field.
  • to CREATE the filter click on the plus button
