Before you set up your smart folders, decide how you want to organize your data. You can specify search and Group By criteria to help you group information in a meaningful way. You can also decide whether you want to include objects that do not contain attribute values when you use the Group By criteria to group filtered data by extensible attributes. For information, see Creating Smart Folders. Note that a smart folder becomes invalid when you delete an extensible attribute that the folder uses as a filter or Group By criterion. You must redefine the extensible attribute and reconfigure the folder criteria to validate the smart folder.
In Grid Manager, you can create smart folders in both the Global Smart Folders and My Smart Folders panels. In Global Smart Folders, you can create smart folders to which other administrators can create links. Only administrators with superuser accounts can create, edit, and delete global smart folders. You can create personal folders as well as links to global smart folders in My Smart Folders. For information, see My Smart Folders and Predefined Smart Folders.
Each smart folder you create can contain up to 2,000 objects. When the number of objects exceeds 2,000, Grid Manager sorts and displays the first 2,000 objects only. It also displays a warning message at the top of the panel. In this case, you may want to redefine your filter criteria to further refine the filtered data in your smart folders.
To create smart folders, follow these procedures:
Determine how you want to organize your core network services data.
Identify the fields that you want to use to group networks or define extensible attributes for the data that you want to track. For information about extensible attributes, see Managing Extensible Attributes.
Create smart folders in either the My Smart Folders or Global Smart Folders panel. For information, see Creating Smart Folders.

NoteInfoblox strongly recommends that you use Type as one of the filter criteria to improve system performance. |
