Powertech Antivirus and Insite

The Insite web browser interface provides an efficient, interactive method to monitor and manage Powertech Antivirus on endpoints across your network.

NOTE: To begin using Insite with Powertech Antivirus, see Insite Setup.

Using Insite with Powertech Antivirus

The following provides an overview for how to manage Powertech Antivirus using your web browser. For general details about using Insite, see the Insite User Guide.

Sort, Search, and Filter settings

The Endpoints screen, Connection Settings screen, Activity Status screen, and Activity Details screen include settings that allow you to choose how to sort the existing list items, what type of data will be searched when you do a search, and how to filter the list.

NOTE: All search results are accompanied by a unique URL. To save search results, simply bookmark or otherwise record the URL located in your browser's address bar. This URL can then be used to reference the results later. The results will appear in the same sort order.
[Search Filter Categories; Search]

These settings allow you to define the categories you would like to search by, and submit the text search query.

  • Click  to display the filter categories (specific to the screen being viewed), then check the categories that should be included in search results. A full search is used if no category is checked.
  • Type into Insite's Search box to find all list items from the selected categories that include the specified text. A text search queries all items in the category selected for all servers shown.
Show in List

These settings allow you to specify the list items you would like to show.

  • Click Show in List to display a list of possible statuses (for example, the endpoint status or connection status).
  • Check the statuses you would like to display in the list.

The status categories selected are shown as follows:

  • Click to remove the category from the list.
  • Click Clear All to remove all status categories.
Sort By

These settings allow you to identify the category of list items you would like to sort, and change the sort order.

  • Click next to Sort By: [category] to sort the list by the chosen category.
  • Click or to invert the sort order (from high-to-low or from low-to-high, respectively).
NOTE: Sorting information, including the column the list is currently sorted by and the sorting direction, is available in your browser's address bar. For example, a URL that includes "sort/alias/dir/1" indicates the list is sorted by alias, low to high. A URL that includes "sort/alias/dir/0" indicates the list is sorted by alias, high to low.
Fields

These settings allow you to specify the attributes of the row items you would like to show.

  • Click Fields to display the field data categories that represent the various attributes of each row item. Each option represents a column in the list.
  • Check the fields you would like to display in the list.
Save Filter

These settings allow you to save a custom filter configuration for use later, and specify the default filter configuration.

  • Click Save Filter to activate a text field, which allows you to name the current filter configuration for use later.
  • Check Default, if you want to set this filter configuration to the default one.
  • Click Save to save the filter configuration for use later. The next time you click this button, the custom filter appears in the list.
