Object Filters

To filter, click in the left-hand pane of the Objects tab:

  • All Objects – This filter provides you all the objects available from all the devices you have on-boarded in CDO. This filter is useful to browse all your objects, or as a starting point to search or further apply sub-filters.

  • Shared Objects – This quick filter shows you all the Objects that CDO has found to be shared on more than one device.

  • Objects By Device – Lets you pick a specific device so that you can see objects found on the selected device.

Sub filters – Within each main filter, there are sub-filters you can apply to further narrow down your selection. These sub-filters are based on Object Type – Network, Service, Protocol, etc.

The selected filters in this filter bar would return objects that match the following criteria:

* Objects that are on one of two devices. (Click Filter by Device to specify the devices.) AND are

* Inconsistent objects AND are

* Network objects OR Service objects AND

* Have the word "group" in their object naming convention

Because Show System Objects is checked, the result would include both system objects and user-defined objects.

Show System Objects Filter

Some devices come with pre-defined objects for common services. These system objects are convenient because they are already made for you and you can use them in your rules and policies. There can be many system objects in the objects table. System objects cannot be edited or deleted.

Show System Objects is off by default. To display system objects in the object table, check Show System Objects in the filter bar. To hide system objects in the object table, leave Show System Objects unchecked in the filter bar.

If you hide system objects, they will not be included in your search and filtering results. If you show system objects, they will be included in your object search and filtering results.
