Use this dialog box to define filters to select specific computers and filesystems for the reporting group. IBM Tivoli Storage Resource Manager uses these filters to dynamically include resources to the group as they are discovered within your environment.
For example, if you:
define a filter "a*" as part of the reporting group
a new computer named "abcmachine" is discovered in your environment
then "abcmachine" will automatically be added to the reporting group.
The filters you define on this dialog box are saved as part of the reporting group definition.
