Sort and filter your Remote Execution job history

As you have more and more Remote Execution jobs, it will be increasingly difficult to find a job that you are looking for. Sorting and filtering options help you reduce the number of displayed jobs and help you find what you are looking for.

Sorting Remote Execution jobs

Jobs are organized on three tabs:

The Jobs history tab lists all your scheduled and completed jobs
The Recurring jobs tab lists those jobs where recurrence was defined
The Triggered jobs tab lists those jobs that were triggered by an alert

You can sort jobs on each of these tabs by clicking a column header.

Filtering Remote Execution jobs

Filtering is especially handy when you have several pages of jobs listed on the Jobs history tab.

On the Remote Execution page, make sure you are on the Jobs history tab.
Other tabs do not support filtering.
Hover over the Job name or Start time column header and select the hamburger icon.
These are the columns that you can filter.
Select the filtering conditions (operator and filtering phrase) that you want to apply.

Results: Filtering is applied dynamically as you type your filtering phrase.

Example:

Example 1: You want to see Remote Execution jobs that were run on devices in a specific office

For example, your job names may contain locations, such as Empty temp folder in Boston office devices. In this case, open the filter in the Job name column header, then select the Contains operator and type Boston as filtering phrase. This would list all your jobs that ran on devices in your Boston office.

Note: You can get the same result by searching for jobs. Use the search field above the list of your jobs.

Example 2: You want to see Remote Execution jobs that were run between specific dates

You may want to view only those jobs that were run, say, over a week's span. In this case, open the filter in the Start time column header, then select the Between operator and select the start and end time of the period that you are looking for.

To remove filtering conditions and start again, select Reset.
