Filter Manager and Filter Editor
The Filter Manager and Filter Editor features are used to create, edit, copy, and delete the device list lters.
HP Web Jetadmin supports Microsoft Global Input Method Editors (IMEs). An IME is a program that can be used to
enter complex characters and symbols, such as Japanese characters, by using a standard keyboard. For more
information, see the Microsoft technical documentation.
Building a Compound Filter
If you create a basic lter and do not get the results you need, you can create a compound lter. After you create
a basic lter in the Filter Editor, you can select Advanced to view its layers. For example:
GT([IP Address], [192.168.40.0]) AND LT([IP Address], [192.168.47.255])
AND EQ([Device Name], [HP LaserJet 4100 MFP]) OR EQ([Device Model],
[HP Color LaserJet 4730 MFP])
The Advanced feature can be used to change the lter into two sub-lters that are compounded. Use the AND
function and add some open and closed parentheses:
(GT([IP Address], [192.168.40.0]) AND LT([IP Address], [192.168.47.255]))
AND (EQ([Device Name], [HP LaserJet 4100 MFP]) OR EQ([Device Model],
[HP Color LaserJet 4730 MFP]))
TIP: For backward compatibility with previous releases, HP Web Jetadmin still supports alternate symbols,
such as quotes (") and apostrophes ('), to enclose parameters for lter functions. HP Web Jetadmin automatically
changes alternate symbols to brackets when you exit the Advanced editor.
After this compound lter is added to the Specify lter criteria page, the Basic feature can no longer be used (you
will receive an error message).

by selecting Available Under All Devices.
6. If you select Advanced, a text eld is displayed where you can manipulate lter attributes that are
expressed in explicit text rather than through a graphical interface. An example of this content is show
here: Contains([Asset Number], [2]) AND Contains([Asset Number], [1],
[Match Case])
An invalid string should be blocked from being applied to settings. An Insert feature is provided to place
opera
tors and functions into the advanced lter content. A Validate feature is provided to report problems
