Filter Implementation for Grids

To do a better search from the grid columns a Filter capability is implemented for the grid columns. A user can filter the data from the respective rows according to their needs. The following types of filters have been implemented in the grid columns of the Host Instances:

• Status Filter

Status Filter

The status filter is used to filter Status columns. The drop-down of the filter shows values according to the statuses that are displayed in the column. The user can select the status from the drop-down and filter accordingly.
