Filtering the data

To filter what data is displayed in the grid, do the following:

1. Click on the Filters icon to show the Filters panel.

2. Select the Property you want to filter on, the operator to apply, and, if appropriate, the value to use for the filter.

3. Repeat step 2 for each value you want to filter on. You can filter on the same field twice using multiple rows in the filter panel. Each of the filters you specify are applied to reduce the number of items shown down to the data you want to see.

4. To activate the filter, click the Apply button. Alternatively if you want to clear all filters, click on the Clear button.

5. If you want to save the filtered view you have created as a separate node, click on the Save As button. That will create a new node with the script that was generated when you applied the filters. This can come in very handy when you want to create nodes to provide you with easy access to specific sets of data without writing the script to do so.

Modifying column selection, order, and size

The column selection, order and size that appears in the grid is configurable for every node in PowerGUI. This configurability allows you to generate the views that are the most relevant for your nodes and actions. With the exception of dynamic nodes, any modifications that you make to column selection, order and size will be retained between Admin Console sessions, and if you export a PowerPack the current column selection, order and size information for nodes and actions will be exported with it, allowing you to design the user experience you want for consumers of any PowerPacks that you author. casino deutschland

To modify the current column selection

1. Right-click on the column headers to see a list of columns that you can display. If there are too many columns to show in the pop-up menu that appeared, a More... option will appear at the bottom of the list.

2. Either click on each of the columns you want displayed from the pop-up menu or select More... to see the entire list and check or uncheck the columns you want to add or remove.

To change the current column order

There are two ways to modify the column order. You can either click and drag the column headers to the left or right of other column headers to set the order, or you can use the Move Up and Move Down buttons that appear in the column selection dialog that appears in step 2 of the column selection modification process.

To change the current column size(s)

All columns in the grid are resizable. Therefore, if you want to change the column size, all you need to do is to drag the slider between two columns until you get the size you want.

IMPORTANT NOTE: There are a few instances where you might not see the columns you are looking for. For example, when you are working with the Active Directory data in the Active Directory PowerPack, by default users are only gathered with a handful of properties. This is necessary in order to keep the gathering performance within acceptable bounds. Also, when gathering Active Directory information, by default the gathering only allows 1000 objects to be returned. As a result, there are other steps that must be taken to specify the columns you want retrieved from Active Directory. For both the Active Directory and the Org Chart PowerPacks, a Configuration node is provided that allows you to configure what information you want to retrieve from Active Directory and, in the case of the Active Directory PowerPack, you can also use the Configuration node to define how many objects you want retrieved during each Active Directory query that is performed. Other PowerPacks may have similar limitations and similar features that allow you to work within the bounds of those limitations while getting the results you need. If you are unable to get the data that you are looking for, you should post a question on the PowerGUI Forums or contact the author of the PowerPack you are working with.
