. Information filtering
ERAC oers several tools and features which provide userfriendly administration of clients and events.
4.3.1 Groups
Individual clients can be divided into groups by clicking Edit > Groups... in the ERA Console. Groups can later be
used when applying filters or creating tasks, because those activities can be applied on whole groups of clients at
the same time. Groups are independent for each ERAS and they are not replicated. The Synchronize with Active
Directory feature allows the administrator to sort clients to groups, if the client name equals the object type
“computer“ at the side of Active Directory AD and belongs to groups in the AD.
4.3.2 Filter
Filter allows the administrator to display only information related to specific servers or client workstations. To show
the filter options, click View > Show/Hide Filter Pane from the ERAC menu.
To activate filtering, select the Use Filter option in the upper left side of the ERA Console and click the Apply
Changes button. Any future modification to the filter criteria will automatically update displayed data, unless
configured otherwise in the Tools > Console Options... > Other Settings tab.
In the Computer filter criteria section you can filter ERA Servers/clients, using the following criteria:
• Only clients using whole word
Output includes only clients with names identical to the string entered
