Assignment Criteria

  3 minute read  

The Assignment Criteria can automatically be used to assign systems to sites during the inventory process.

Various options are provided, which can be used for the assignment. The systems can be assigned by the system name, the domain, the system type, the ADS container, or the length of the system names. To assign systems by IP range, select the Network field and specify the IP range in CIDR notation. For example, if you want to create an assignment criteria for systems from the IP range 172.31.251.1 to 172.31.251.254, it is specified with the notation 172.31.251.0/24. The suffix /24 indicates the number of 1-bits in the subnet mask.

The conditions can be grouped and linked with either And or Or.

Operator

In the column Operator you can choose how the specified value will be evaluated, e.g. Contains, Begins with.

  • Contains: The specified condition must contain the system name, the domain etc.
  • Not Contains: The specified condition may not contain the system name, the domain etc.
  • Begins with: The system name, domain, etc. must begin with the specified value.
  • Ends with: The system name, domain, etc. must end with the specified value.
  • =: The system name, domain, etc. must match the specified value.
  • <>: The system name, domain, etc. may not match the specified value.

And/Or

Once several conditions are specified, select in the And/Or column whether the conditions should be linked with And or Or. If the terms are linked with And, then all conditions have to match the system. If the conditions are linked with Or, only one of the terms has to match the system.

Grouping

Use grouping to nest the conditions as needed. For example two terms can be linked with Or and then be extended with And to include another condition. Click the checkbox to select the conditions, then click the Docusnap License Management Filter Group button to group the selected entries to one condition. Only conditions listed one below the other can be grouped. The button Docusnap License Management Filter Grouped marks the start of the group. Click the Docusnap License Management Filter Grouped button to revoke the grouping. It is possible to organize the grouping in several levels. Select more than one group and click on the Docusnap License Management Filter Group button to group them into one condition.
