Use the Task Filters application to create a task filter.
A task filter specifies a subset of objects that you
want to evaluate when you run a reconciliation task.
About this task
The filter type that you select in the Filter
Type field determines which set of objects the filter
applies to:
For assets, select either the Asset or Deployed
Asset filter type.
For configuration items, select either the CI or Actual
CI filter type.
The steps for creating a task filter follow.
Procedure
On the toolbar in the Task Filters application, click New
Task Filter.
In the Filter field, type the name
that you want to assign to this task filter. The name specified must
be unique among all task filter names.
Optional: In the Description field,
type a description.
In the Filter Type field, specify
a filter type from the Select Value window. The Filter Type determines
the subset of objects that the filter selects.
In the Task Filter Clauses section, click New
Row.
In the Attribute field,
specify the name of the attribute to use as a filter. The values displayed
in the Select Value list depend on the value
that is specified in the Filter Type field.
In the Value field, enter
a value for the attribute selected in step 6. The system
uses SQL like as a default comparison operator.
If you enter only the word notebook in the
field, the system includes all instances where the word notebook occurs
anywhere within the string of characters. If you want the system to
use only the exact value specified, you must include an equal sign
(=) as the first character in the field.
If appropriate, repeat steps 5 through 7 to enter additional attributes
and values for the task filter.
Note: You can create multiple
attribute clauses for a task filter. If you create multiple clauses
that specify different attributes, the system processes the clauses
using logical AND between the clauses. If you create clauses that
use the same attribute, the system processes the clauses using logical
OR between clauses.
