How You Can Filter Libraries

The available filters for libraries are:

• Empty Slots filter--Lets you to view all occupied slots or all slots of the library.
• Range Slot filter--Lets you filter the slots belonging to a specified range of slots.
• Media Pool filter--Lets you view only the media in a particular media pool.
• Bar code filter--Lets you filter the media matching the bar code if the library supports a bar code reader; otherwise it matches the serial number.

Library filters apply to the Device Manager view and Backup Manager Destination tab. Use the Preferences menu to display the Library Filter tab. These filters apply to the current Managers that are open, not to all Managers.

The status bar indicates whether a filter was applied to the view. The status bar indicates this by displaying Filter in the second list. By default, the Device Manager and the Destination tab on the Backup Manager filter the empty slots.
