This article explains how to use device filters in EloView3

Over time, the number of devices managed by EloView 3 can easily grow into the hundreds, if not thousands. To quickly and efficiently locate specific devices, just type what you’re looking for in the search box. This would work for any information that is typically displayed on the device list screen – name, serial number, group, site address, or firmware version.

For more advanced searches, additional parameters are available for use – location, content, content status, time zone, analytics, online status, and orientation. To help you assemble a query, select a parameter from the drop-down menu and you’re presented with a list of valid criteria for the selected parameter. Of course, Boolean operators (AND, OR, and NOT) and quotes (for exact phase) are supported when conducting multi-field searches.


Once you have a filtered list of devices, you can make quick changes to the settings for those devices or deploy new content to them. And for frequently-used searches, you can save the filter (along with search criteria) for future use.
