Search / Sort Servers

If you have more than 10 registered Orchid Core VMS servers (by default), the Servers list will extend beyond one page. When this happens, the software will automatically activate the server search and sort features. Especially useful with large systems, these tools will help you find specific servers quickly.

Server Page Search

The Search field will appear at the top of the Servers screen. It supports searching by server names, using single and multiple search tags.

1. Click into the Search field to start your search.
2. Type one or more search tags (clicking Enter after each).
   1. A single search tag with multiple terms (words or numbers) will initiate a search for results that include all of the terms in the tag.
   2. Multiple, single-term search tags will initiate a search for results that include at least one of those tags.

Each time you press Enter, the Servers screen will update to display all of the servers that contain the tag(s).

Server Page Sort

The Sort field will appear to the right of the Search field. This feature supports sorting the Servers list by server name, health, and software version number.

1. Click on the Sort drop-down list to select a sort option: Name, Health, or Version. The servers in the list will appear in order per the selected sort option.
   1. If you sort by Name, the servers will appear in alphabetical order by server name.
   2. If you sort by Health, the servers in an error condition will appear first. The remaining “healthy” servers will be sorted by the number of cameras down (with the highest number of cameras down appearing first).
   3. If you sort by Version, the servers will be listed by software version number (oldest to newest).
