This topic provides information about sorting and filtering tables from the SAN File System console.
The sortable and filterable tables in the SAN File System console work
area display object attributes in table columns. The data is chunked into
pages as needed to reduce scrolling. The cell at the bottom of the table
displays the number of pages of data and the number of table objects, including
the number filtered, displayed and selected. You can page through the objects
by clicking the icon
at the bottom left of the table, or jump to pages by entering a page number
and pressing the Go button.
You can view the details of an object by clicking on one of its attributes, indicated by an underlined link. You can click on the name or ID, which links to additional information about the associated object. The object “Details” view is opened as a sub task panel.
The tables provide sort and filter functions through icons in the top left corner. These functions provide an inline way for you to quickly search, find, select, and use resources within SAN File System tables. For example, sorting can help you quickly determine which filesets or storage pools are approaching quota limits.

The Go button to the right of the drop-down box submits the selected action. Some actions depend on one or more table items being selected; whereas others can only be performed against one selected item. When you can only select one item to complete an action, that action will have the number one in parentheses listed beside it as in this example: “Properties (1).”
When an action is submitted, the system will verify that a proper selection has been made within the table. If a proper selection has not been made, the page will display a message with instructions of how to correct your selection and complete the action.
