- Between Insert two values, and only those assets whose code is comprehended between them will be retrieved (e.g., code between '500' and '600'),

- Contains: To be retrieved, assets' code must contain the string inserted here (e.g., code like 'test'),

- It doesn't contain: To be retrieved, assets' code must NOT contain the string inserted here (e.g., code not like 'test'),

•Main Server

As its name suggests, this area permits narrowing the retrieved results by specifying the following filters concerning the main server field. Its filters work precisely as the code ones.

•Last Update

Indicate the time interval on which the last update date of retrieved assets must be comprehended. It is possible to define any of the following methods:
