Searching the Inventory List View
Within the Inventory List view, you can search using:
Page-level search
Page-level search provides a convenient method to refine your view by locating one or many objects. This allows you to search through the selected category by
Name or
IP address and revise the view based on the search results. When filtering, you can also sort and move columns to further organize the display. See
Advanced Search for more search options.
Note: For VM Servers organized by cluster, you can also search by cluster name.
