and Sorting

SQL Inventory Manager offers different ways of sorting and filtering the listed instances/servers, for further information refer to Filtering and Sorting

On the left section of this view you can find options for filtering your instances by Instance Tags, Owner, Location, Minor Version, and Major Version. Use these filters to quickly access specific instances that you want IDERA SQL Inventory Manager to display on this view. For example, you can choose to display the list of decommissioned instances that have a specific tag in your environment. 

Creating a useful filter to "weed out" unnecessary information takes time but is important when managing large environments. As a result, you may want to save that filter for future use. IDERA SQL Inventory Manager now allows you to save filters for use in the Explorer and Instances views. Simply create the filter, and then click Save favorite, depending on which view you are in when creating the filter. To use that filter, click Load favorite.

You can enable or disable the option Apply filter as it changes depending if you want to see the changes as you apply the filter, or if you prefer to select your filters first and see the results when you finish.
