Options for OU filter rules
Once you have defined OU filter rules they remain until they are deleted explicitly. You can edit the filter rules in the following ways:
Option | Action | Description |
---|---|---|
Create new filter rule | Click Add | User-defined filter: The filter criteria of the Filter rule field and the selected Destination OU are added as a new filter rule to the list. Syntax of a filter criterion: You can combine two or more filter criteria by using one of the logical operators AND or OR. Use capital letters for the operators. For examples, see OU filter as a user-defined filter. Subnet filter: The data from the fields Network address, Netmask and OU are added as a new filter rule to the list. |
Delete a filter rule | Select filter rule and click Delete | The selected filter rule is deleted. |
Edit filter rule | Select filter rule and press F2 or double-click | Modify the elements of a filter rule right in the list. |
Activate / deactivate a filter rule | Select/Clear Activated option | Deactivated filter rules are not executed. Newly added filter rules are active by default. |
Change sequence of processing (user-defined filter) | Edit Sequence field | Filter rules with low sequence number are processed prior to filter rules with high sequence number. |

Review all active filter rules thoroughly to avoid unintentional assignments.

For the entire filter, under Non-matching devices, select where you want to keep the non-matching devices.
If you select assigned to the default OU, all non-matching devices and even devices already assigned to other OUs are reassigned to the default OU.
