Setting Default Filters

geoffbland

In the XCP-ng it mentions you can set a default filter for the displays on XO:

I can't seem to find this - is it still possible to set the default filter on XO? I would like to exclude CD drives from the Storage list by default.

Hi,

Go in Home/storage view, enter your search, then click on the search button and "Save". When your search is saved, go in your profile (small "user" icon on the bottom of the left menu). You have the list of default filters to apply on your home views

@olivierlambert Thanks again for the quick reply (on a Sunday!?!).

Thanks for the advice - I had forgotten that this was there. Maybe the text on the web page where it states "In this user section, you can set a default filter (preset filters or your own)." could be expanded a bit?

Also, unfortunately the "Customize filters" doesn't have a section for "Storage" so I can't do what I wanted. Should I raise a GitHub issue to request this? If so which is the Github repo for XO?

Ah indeed, you are right, it's missing and it's not a big modification I suppose

So yes, go and ask it here: https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&template=feature_request.md&title=

edit: and about the position of the user zone, it's clearly suboptimal Next UI will be FAR more easier to manage those things
