Device Saved Filters

Hello, I have a custom userAttribute.name in MSP 3.3.1.  This value can contain the following: MC01_100000 Thru MC20_899999 Obviously these are NOT numerical, but string data.  How could I create a filter to show all values between: MC01_100000 and MC20_499999 Also, the prefix of MCXX_, is not pertinent, just six chars following the underscore is pertinent data for this filter or policy narrowing. Thanks Brad

Rudra, Actually, I needed to surround the underscore with hard brackets.  I wasn't aware that an underscore to a SQL query is like a wildcard as well.  For the underscore to be taken literally in the LIKE query it needs to be bracketed. %[ _ ]1% Shown with spaces, for clarity. Thanks Brad

Hello Brad,

 

The Rules in provisioning and device saved filter like LESS THAN and GREATER THAN are only applied for numerical(FLOAT) data so you cannot use them.

 

But you could use the LIKE functionality in the Rules.

 

As per your requirement you wanted to get the list of devices having

userAttribute.name between MC01_100000 and MC20_499999

ignoring the MC01 and MC 20 in between. So you want the list of devices having

 

100000

100001

100002

 

and so on

 

 

till 499999

 

So you can use filters in this way:

 

userAttribute.name like %_1%

OR

userAttribute.name like %_2%

OR

userAttribute.name like %_3%

OR

userAttribute.name like %_4%

 

The percent(%) character will match one or more characters in your device values.

So

userAttribute.name like %_1%

 

will give you all values like:

100000

100001

and so on

 

userAttribute.name like %_2%

 

will give you all values like:

200000

200001

and so on.

Hope this helps.
