Create saved filters

You can use filters in the Devices view to refine the device list and run commands on all devices that meet your criteria. Unlike groups, which are manually maintained, saved filters are dynamic and update automatically based on device attributes. This is especially useful when you need to apply policies to devices that use the same operating system, because each policy is tied to a specific OS.

To streamline your workflow, create saved filters that can be used for common actions your organization wants to perform on enrolled devices. If you only need a temporary view, you can also create a one-time quick filter.

To create a saved filter

  1. Click Filters in the Search bar.

  2. Create the conditions for the filter. Click Add Condition to add multiple conditions as needed.

    Example 

  3. Click Save filter.

  6. Click Save.

    Tip 

    You can edit the filter by selecting it in the list, modifying its conditions, and clicking Edit Filter.
