Apply Filters

Filters are used to narrow your search results. You can create your own filters or select one of the reports with the predefined filters. To create a unique set of filters, you can:

  • Add different filters to your search. Search results will be sorted by all selected filters since they work as a logical conjunction (e.g., Who*: Administrator* AND Action*: Added*).
  • Specify several values in the same filter to search for any of them (e.g., Action*: Modified* OR Action*: Removed*). To do this, select a filter again and specify a new value.
  • Spaces do not separate values, so the whole expression will be included in your search as a single value. For example, if you want to search for any of three names, do not enter Anna Mark Bill but instead create a separate filter entry for each name.

Step 3 – If required, specify the property change filters.

NOTE: Netwrix 1Secure comes with the advanced filtering options. Not all the activity records have the property changes, but only those with the property change on that record. For example, if the permission on the Active Directory has been added or resource ID in AzureAD has been removed.

Filter property

NOTE: The drop-down list in the Property field shows all the properties retrieved in your records' list below the Search bar. It varies depending on the displayed records. You can filter the required Property, Action, Value operator, and Value within the list. The property changes are dynamic and are not related to a given report directly but the activity records. If the query changes, the shown property changes may also change.
