Limiting pick list content


From When selecting a license server or feature pick from a list, you can begin a filter area at the top of the list lets you narrow the list by typing the name of the server or feature you want to select. The As you type, the list will display only the server or feature names that match what include the text you have entered. For example, you can type "lo" or "host" to more easily find "localhost" in the a list of license servers.


Collapsing/expanding areas

Persistent page settings per user

...

Throughout License Statistics pages, some user settings persist. As you move from tab to tab and when you close and reopen License Statistics (based on your user, not the machine you are using), the settings you make will remain. For example, if you collapse the "Select License Server and Feature," "Advanced Filtering," and "General Information" panels in one tab of the Features pagethese panels will still be collapsed in other tabs and the next time you log into License Statistics. Your user preferences are saved in the database and are associated with your login credentials, so your settings will be the same regardless which computer you use to login to License Statistics.
