The list of Resource Entries is under the Resources Tab. To access it, you may either click on the Resources Tab, or select "Entries" from the Resource Tab dropdown menu.

Five resource view lists are provided by default, including "Entries", "Sections", "Categories", "Contacts", and "Customers", and users may either edit the provided views or create additional custom views from variety of filter and attribute column options. 

Resource View List Settings

To view, edit, or create resource views, click on "Settings" from the Resource List header bar.

The settings page consists of three main areas: A list of existing resource Resource Views on the left sidebar, the Default Filter Values for the selected Resource View at the top center, and the Default Field/Column settings at the bottom center. 

These settings may be changed for any Resource View, including the default Views. You may also create a new view at any time by clicking "Add View" at the top page header.

Set Default Filter Values

Default filter values allow you to fine-tune which resources display in your Resource View. If you'd like to have all resources visible in your view, you may leave all fields blank, or enter any combination of filters to narrow down the resulting list.

You may even restrict your view to only show those resources that have a particular value for an attribute, by entering the attribute (field) name obtained from the resource's section setup, and the specific value for that attribute that the resource should have. 

8.1.0 Views Default Filters.jpg

Available filter values include:

  • Resource Type: Choose from Section, Entry, Category, or Contact.

  • Parent: Enter a parent resource to limit the list to only resources with that parent.

  • Section: Select a resource section, such as Resource Holder, Server, Rack, VM, or any custom section. 

  • Category: Select an existing category, such as Customer, Internal, or any custom category that has been created. 

  • Attribute Name: Select an attribute name to limit the results to only resources with that attribute.

  • Attribute Value: Select an attribute value to limit the results to only resources with that value for the attribute. The attribute value filter results are limited to the attribute selected in the "Attribute Name" filter. 

Once you have selected the desired filter(s) for your view, be sure to click "Save Changes" at the bottom of the page!


Attribute Filters and Encrypted Attributes

Encrypted attributes, such as "Password" and "Encrypted Data", can be searched via the Attribute Name filter. However, users may not filter encrypted attributes by a specific attribute value.

These attributes are designated as "encrypted" in the Attribute Name filter dropdown. If selected, the Attribute Value filter is disabled and displayed as greyed-out to reflect the inability to access encrypted data values.
