Enabling and Disabling Global Filters and Saved Filter Sets

You can change whether or not applied filters will be global and persist across all Edge Manager pages that display a device list.

About this task

By default, filters are global, which means that when you apply the filter, the filtered list of devices displays on every page of Edge Manager that has a device list (Dashboard, Device Manager > Devices, Operations, and Alerts > List). Filters persist until you clear them.

Applying filters also enables the Device Operations so that you can deploy a BOM, configurations, containers, and software to the filtered devices. You can also execute commands on the list of filtered devices.
