Filtering Information in Tables

The Filter Column filters information in a table for a selected column by a user-specified expression.

To filter a column:

  1. Right-click the Filter column to open its menu and select the column you want to filter on, for example Thread State.

    The column name appears in the Filter column field.

  2. In the adjacent text box, enter the string for which you want to filter; for example, RUNNABLE.

    An asterisk will match arbitrary characters; for example:

    • If you want to filter for all threads beginning with RMI, you would enter RMI* in the text field.

    • If you want all threads that begin with RMI and end with Handler, you would enter RMI*Handler.

    • Entering only * will match any name of a string.

    The filter text entry field is case sensitive; for example, if you are filtering for <RUNNABLE>, you must enter it in uppercase letters.
