By default, the Protection page displays information for all computers and devices. But, if necessary, you can filter the Protection page to only show information that meets certain criteria. For example, you can filter the Protection page to only show information about the devices on a particular computer.
There are several ways to filter the Protection page (or parts of the Protection page):
Use a search to filter the list of devices
Filter the list of devices by selected criteria
Show or hide columns in the device list
Filter by Team
You can use the Devices sidebar to filter the Protection page so that it only shows information about devices on certain Devices. For example, you can configure the Protection page to only display information for a “Finance” team and a “Human resources” team.
1. Click on Protection.
2. In the Equipment section, click:
- All Devices to display information about all devices on all computers (this is the equivalent of removing the computer filter)
- Unassigned to display information only for those devices that are not yet assigned to a team
- **
** to display information about devices on a specific team.

When you select a device or devices, the Protection page refreshes and filters the information screens and device list. They only show information about the devices on the selected teams.
Click All Devices in the Teams sidebar to remove the filter.
Use a search to filter the list of devices
You can use the search function to filter the list of devices so that it only includes devices that have certain values. For example, you can use search to filter the list so that it only shows devices with a particular name (or prefix to a name). This is useful if you have a consistent device naming scheme and only want to see particular devices. For example, you may have devices that start with names that start with ERL, so you can search for ERL.
You can use the search to filter the list of devices by any text value, including the device name, user name, and computer name.
To apply a search filter:
1. Click on the search icon above the list of devices.
2. Enter the first few characters of the text value you want to use as a filter. Aranda Datasafe applies the filter as you type, so you can do partial matches or you can enter the full-text value to be more specific.
You can search for the device name, username, or computer name.

Filter the list of devices by selected criteria
You can filter the device list to only show devices that match your chosen criteria.
To filter the list of devices:
1. Click on the filter icon to display the slide-out filter options.
2. Expand Filter Categories and select the filter criteria you want to apply. The device list will only show devices that match all the criteria you select.
3. Click Apply.

You can choose any of these filter options:
Filter | Description | Options |
---|---|---|
Device Status | Filter devices based on their activation status. | - Active - Inactive |
Protected Status | Filter the list to only show devices with a particular protection status. | - Protected – Protected with warning (device has been protected in the last 5 days, but the most recent backup failed) – Unprotected. - Offline (Aranda Datasafe discovered the device, but it can’t connect). |
DLP | Filter devices by DLP status. | - Trusted: The device has been authenticated - Revoked: The device’s security certificate has been removed* - Erased: The device’s protected data has been deleted. Devices are usually revoked or erased when they are missing, stolen, or have not been connected to Aranda Datasafe within a set period of time. |
Repositories | Filter the list to only show devices associated with a particular repository. | List of available repositories |
Policies | Filter the list to only show devices associated with a particular policy. | List of Available Policies |
Protection Agent | Filter the list to only show devices that use a particular version of the Protection Agent software. | List of Available Protection Agent Versions |
To remove the filters, click the Filter icon and click Reset (or uncheck each of the filter boxes).
Show or hide columns in the device list
You can choose to show or hide columns in the device list. For example, you might not care which version of the protection agent was used to discover a device, so you can hide it from view.
To show/hide columns, click the Columns icon and then choose which columns to include. For a description of each column, see the Protection page.
