Change the data view
Various ways exist to help you sort and filter the data displays so that you can see across
application and server activity and drill down to the specifics a particular application or server.
Visibility of systems and applications depends on the permissions you have for each managed
system and application. You can see only those systems and applications in Application Discovery
tables that you already have permission to access or view.

in the column heading and an arrow. The dark grey color indicates which column is driving the
sort order for all rows of data in the table. The arrow indicates whether the column has been
sorted in ascending or descending order. Criteria for the order may be numeric or alphabetical.
