Searching a volume
Visualization Platform enables you to use filters that can limit the number of files displayed. The user creates a filter by specifying a text string in a file name to display only the items containing the string. Visualization Platform displays the list items containing that string. Filtering is not case-sensitive.
Users and administrators can use filters to search the following navigation pane items:
Documents
Visualization Platform filters on Name. Additionally, you can use the Filter menu to include or exclude the following items in the results:
Latest version only
Folders
Documents
Executables
My Jobs
Visualization Platform filters on job name. Additionally, users can include or exclude jobs that succeeded or failed in the results.
Notifications
Visualization Platform applies filters based on the job name.
