NOTE Device Groups are available from the Devices page, while Site Device Groups are available from the site summary page. For more information about the types of filters and groups available, refer to Device filters and Groups. Click View next to a specific filter or group.

To either remove a filter or group or to choose a new one, click Filters & Groups to open the pane. Select a new filter or group, or click Remove next to the one that is currently selected. The pane will close and you will be redirected to the list of devices. You may only select one filter or group at a time. |

The columns can be reordered and resized. The order and size of the columns will persist the next time the page is accessed.

If a filter search term includes wildcard characters (for example, underscores and percent signs), they serve as normal characters if they are preceded by a backslash. For details, refer to Wildcard characters. Click the X next to any filter to remove that filter or click Reset Filters to remove all filters. If no filter is applied, the Filtered by bar displays Unfiltered. The filter selection in the columns will persist the next time the page is accessed.

If you wish to save specific device list configurations for use in the future, you can create custom views. Column selections, column ordering, column widths, and applied column filters are automatically saved to the Current View.
The following specifications apply to custom views:
- Your saved views apply only to your own user account.
- Up to 10 views can be saved at a time.
