Using the filters
The filter functionality of the master lookup table can be used to display subsets of the available licenses, making the data more manageable for viewing. Use the filtering options for a specific license data type to limit the information returned. Only data that matches the criteria is displayed in the list.
The filter types are applied as follows:
- Select an option from a dropdown list.
- Enter a string (case independent). All instances of the data type associated with the filter containing the string are displayed.
Multiple filters can be set in conjunction to further refine the data displayed.
Note: The columns License enabling start and License disabling show the SmarTest versions that support the associated license product or the license feature.
