Filter, group, and sort jobs

The Protection Jobs and System Jobs windows provide options to filter, group, and sort the information that appears. Select a job to display its Job ID Summary window.

Filter jobs by status

Use the quick filters at the top of the window to filter jobs by status. By default, all jobs are shown regardless of status. To display only jobs with a specific status, at the top of the window, select one of the following options:

  • Failed
  • Completed with Exceptions
  • Success
  • Canceled
  • In Progress
  • Completed

In Progress jobs include Running, Queued, and Canceling jobs.

When you select a quick filter to filter jobs by a certain status, the window displays the filter above the table. To stop filtering by the selected status, click x.

Filter jobs by start time

Use the Start Time filter to display jobs that started in a specified period. Select from one of the following options:

  • All jobs
  • Last 24 hours
  • Last 3 days
  • Last 7 days
  • Last 30 days
  • Specific date
  • Custom date range

Group jobs

The Group by feature in the Job ID Summary window provides options to group assets within a protection job.

The following asset types support the Group by feature:

  • Microsoft SQL Server databases
  • Microsoft Exchange Server databases
  • Oracle databases
  • File Systems
  • SAP HANA databases
  • Kubernetes clusters
  • Network-attached storage (NAS) shares
  • VMware Virtual Machines

To group assets in a protection job, in the Job ID Summary window for the job, select an option from the Group By drop-down list. To display all assets, select Group by > None. For example, to group virtual machine assets by ESX host, click Group by > ESX Host.

The following table lists the available Group by options:

Search filter

Use the Search field to filter jobs based on a search string. When you type a keyword in the Search field, the PowerProtect Data Manager UI filters the results as you type. To clear the search filter, remove all keywords from the Search field.

Filter and sort information in tables

You can filter and sort the information that appears in table columns. Click Filter icon in the column heading to filter the information in a table column, or click a table column heading to sort that column.
