▪Search - Enter any text in order to search all devices in the list.
- Any device/line that includes the search term will be shown. All others are temporarily filtered out.
- Terms can be case-insensitive. You don't have to use capital letters.
- Feel free to use terms that are incomplete. For example, mad will include results for MADRIX.
- You may specify certain columns by using a colon [:]. Only columns that are currently shown and visible can be searched this way.
- For example: Prod:AUR shows all lines where a MADRIX AURA hardware interface is connected by referencing the column Product for example. If no column is shown that includes 'Prod', MADRIX HARDWARE MANAGER will search all shown columns for the specifically entered term.
- You may execute RegEx searches [regular expression] by prefixing search terms via /r
