Viewing objects in the contents pane

After you create an object, information about that object appears in the contents pane. To display objects in the contents pane, click on a folder in the object tree.

Information displayed in the contents pane

Different headings appear in the contents pane according to which folder is currently selected. The headings are listed here alphabetically:

Adapter
This field displays the adapter used by the subscription.

Customizer class name
This field displays Java classname of the custom adapter.

Data filter
This field displays Yes if you set a data filter for the user or group and No if no data filter has been set.

Description
This field displays the description that you gave the object when you created it, and appears for all objects except logs.

Device type
This field displays the type of device registered to the user. You do not enter this information using the Mobile Devices Administration Center; the DB2 Everyplace Sync Server obtains the device type when the user registers the device.

Enabled
This field displays Yes if the group or user has been enabled for synchronization and No if it is not enabled. (See Enabling and disabling synchronization for information on enabling a group or user for synchronization.)

Encryption Level
This field displays the encryption level used during data transfer.

Group
When the Users folder is selected, this field displays the name of the group to which the user is assigned. When the Subscription sets folder is selected, this field displays the number of groups associated with the subscription set.

Name
This field displays the unique name that you gave the object when you created it, and appears for all objects except logs.

Signature
This field displays the signature used by the adapter.

Subscriptions
This field displays the number of subscriptions assigned to the subscription set.

Subscription sets
This field displays the number of subscription sets associated with a group or subscription.

Synchronization status
This field displays the synchronization status of the user.

Type
This field displays the type of subscription. (See Creating a DataPropagator subscription or Creating a file subscription for information about creating a table subscription or file subscription.)

Users
This field displays the number of users assigned to a group.

Filtering the contents pane

If you have several synchronization objects in a folder, you might need to filter the folder's contents to more easily find what you need. Filtering a folder's contents displays a subset of the contents according to search criteria that you enter.

To filter a folder's contents

  1. Select the object folder.

  2. Right-click and select Filter. The Filter notebook appears, displaying the field headings in the contents pane for the selected object folder. Some fields, such as Status and Device type (which appear for users), cannot be filtered.

  3. In the Values field of the Locate page, type your filter criteria. For example, the following settings in the Filter notebook filter the Groups folder for all groups with the word NURSE in the Name:

After you set the filter for an object, you must explicitly clear the filter to display all elements in an object, or all objects in the tree. The Mobile Devices Administration Center displays only those objects meeting the specified filter criteria. When you use a filter, the Mobile Devices Administration Center limits the object tree and contents pane so that they display only those objects matching your filter criteria.

You cannot filter all fields.

For more information about object filters, see the help for the DB2 Control Center.

Sorting the contents pane

Another way to quickly find what you need is to sort a column in the contents pane alphabetically.

To sort a column, click the column heading. The system rearranges the data rows in alphabetical order according to which column is currently selected.
