Scheduled reports filter pattern

Scheduled reports filter pattern

Hello.

I need to know how I can build up a filter.

Configuration - Devolutions Documentation

Can I somehow specify if it's in a folder of a certain name ?
Can I use wildcards ?

That would greatly help me.

Thank you and best regards.

Hello Marcel,

Thank you for your question! Let me clarify:

  • Wildcards are not supported. The filter is a text field, not a custom filter. It searches for specified text. You can only enter exact values in the filter fields. Partial matches or symbols such as * or ? are not available.
  • The field or text that gets searched depends on the specific report you are working with. For example, a configuration report may allow filtering by entry name, type, or other attributes depending on what data it displays.
  • Because of this, there isn’t a universal way to filter by folder name; it depends entirely on whether the folder is part of the data shown in the chosen report.


The recommended approach is to test your filter directly in the report before scheduling it. This ensures that the results match your expectations, since each type of report can behave a little differently with respect to its filters.

If you can provide us with more details about which report you’d like to configure, we’ll be glad to guide you more precisely on which data the filter will apply to, and explain in detail what each option does.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
