Customizing Resource Views
The list of Resource Entries is under the Resources Tab. To access it, you may either click on the Resources Tab, or select "Entries" from the Resource Tab dropdown menu.
...
These settings may be changed for any Resource View, including the default Views. You may also create a new view at any time by clicking "Add View" at the top page header.
Default Views
Five default Resource Views are provided, and are automatically pinned to the top header bar for quick access:
...
If custom views are pinned, they will be visible in a second button row dropdown by clicking the expand (...) "More" button in the page header:
Create a New View
...
Create a new view by specifying a name. Then hit the "Create" button. The new view will be added to the view list, with no default filters applied and standard default columns enabled.
Click on the new view in the list to select it. From here you can apply specific filters to the view, display field attributes as columns, and adjust column order visibility.
...
You may even restrict your view to only show those resources that have a particular value for an attribute, by entering the attribute (field) name obtained from the resource's section setup, and the specific value for that attribute that the resource should have.
Available filter values include:
...
Section: Select a resource section, such as Resource Holder, Server, Rack, VM, or any custom section from your ProVision instance.
Category: Select an existing category, such as Customer, Internal, or any custom category that has been created.
Attribute Name: Type Select an attribute name to limit the results to only resources with that attribute. See: "Find the Attribute Name information box, below".
Attribute Value: Type Select an attribute value to limit the results to only resources with that value for the attribute. Select "Match Value" to limit results to exact attribute value matches.The attribute value filter results are limited to the attribute selected in the "Attribute Name" filter.
Once you have selected the desired filter(s) for your view, be sure to click "Save Changes" at the bottom of the page!

Encrypted attributes, such as "Password" and "Encrypted Data", can be searched via the Attribute Name filter. But users may not filter encrypted attributes by a specific attribute value. These attributes are designated as "encrypted" in the Attribute Name filter dropdown.
The Attribute Value filter is disabled when an encrypted attribute name is selected.
Note: The attribute name is the system slug designation for the attribute, not the display name shown in column headers or field labels. Slugs are unique ids entirely in lower-case lettering, and use dashes or underscores instead of spaces. To find the attribute slug, go to the Edit Section page, and look for either of the following areas for the desired field: 1) Click on the field name label (here: "Hostname") for a field that has already been added to the section, to open the field details information box:
The field attribute slug will be listed under "Slug" - here, the slug for "Hostname" would be "6c-network-fqdn" 2) If the field has not yet been added to the section, you may view the field name with field slug after it, in parentheses, in the "Add Existing Fields" selection box:
Here, the slug displayed for "2nd Email" is "6c-contact-email2". Once the attribute name and value has been entered as filter conditions, it should look like this:
The resulting view list will then display only the resources with "QA1.6connect.com." entered for the Hostname (6c-network-fqdn) field:

Set Default Columns
...
This opens the "More Options" box. From here, you can set a specific minimum default pixel width for the column, or enable/disable drag resizing in the field view.
When done, click "Update", or click "Close" to exit without saving your changes.
