Device Filter

SureMDM allows you to narrow down the search results that match particular criteria using the Filter option. You can create filters to view only the devices you want to see in the Device Grid. The Filter section can create a customized view of deployed devices based on their status, device name, model name, IP address, or settings. The admins will save time by easily and quickly identifying groups of devices with just one click.

note

When the Filter option is selected, SureMDM automatically switches to Advanced search mode.

  3. Select the filter you want to update from the list.

  4. Modify the query by adding, removing, or updating filter columns and criteria.

  5. Once your changes are complete, navigate to the Device Toolbar and click Update Filter.

  6. Click OK to confirm the changes.

Filters that are no longer needed can be permanently removed from the Filter panel. Deleting a filter does not affect any devices—it only removes the saved query.

Filter deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. If you need the filter again, you will need to recreate it from scratch.
