The Basic and Advanced tabs provide further refinements for your search. The selected storage
resource (volumes, parity groups, etc.) affects the search criteria available under the Basic and
Advanced tabs. This can be seen by changing the selected storage resource and reviewing
available options.

To run your search, click Search. When results are displayed, display controls are provided for
easier viewing, including tiling options, a maximize control, and the Column Settings button for
controlling what data is displayed. Depending on the resource being displayed, you will see
buttons for performing an action on selected resources. For example, when looking at a list of
volumes, you will be able to Allocate Volumes (to a host), Create Pool (only for storage systems
supporting this feature), Edit Label (volume labels, which can be searched on later), Export to
CSV (reporting) or More Actions (more volume related tasks).

To save a search, click Save, and enter a name and description, then select Save as a public
search (checkbox) to share the search with others. Note that saved searches are displayed
according to the storage resource. For example, if you run a parity group search and save it, it
only displays when the selected storage resource is Parity Group. Similarly, changing the storage
resource to Volumes will display only saved volume searches.

To run a saved search, select the storage resource, and select the saved search.

dialog box. If you have a saved search selected and change the search criteria, run the search,
click Save, edit the description etc., and click Save.

Search.
