  Note:

  If you drag and drop a rule outside the zone context, J-Web will display a warning message that you cannot move the rule into another zone context.

• Advanced search for policy rule. To do this, use the search text box present above the table grid. The search includes the logical operators as part of the filter string. An example filter condition is displayed in the search text box when you hover over the Search icon. When you start entering the search string, the icon indicates whether the filter string is valid or not.

  For an advanced search:

  1. Enter the search string in the text box.

     Based on your input, a list of items from the filter context menu appears.

  2. Select a value from the list and then select a valid operator based on which you want to perform the advanced search operation.

     Note:

     Press Spacebar to add an AND operator or OR operator to the search string. Press backspace to delete a character of the search string.

  3. Press Enter to display the search results in the grid.

  The supported search scenarios and its examples are as follows:

  1. Logical operators:

     • AND operator for multiple parameters

       Example: Name = Rule1 AND Dynamic Application = Malware

     • OR operator for same and different parameters

       Example for same parameters: Name = Rule1 OR Name = Rule2

       Example for different parameters: Name = Rule1 OR Dynamic Application = Malware

     • Combination of AND and OR operators

       Example: Name = Rule1 AND (Dynamic Application = Malware OR Action = Reject)

     • Comma (,) separated value

       Example: Name = Rule1, Rule2

     • != operator for single parameter

       Example: Name != Rule1

  2. Dynamic applications or service objects with matching characters of Junos

     When you search for the matching characters of Junos, such as, jun, un, nos, and os, the result displays all the matched objects but without junos prefix. For example, if the configured dynamic application is junos:01NET, the search for dynamic applications with jun characters display only 01NET.

  3. Saved policy rules

     When you add or edit a rule, click Save to save the configuration. To search for this saved configuration, you must wait for the device to synchronize the configuration.

• Show or hide columns in the policy rule table. To do this, click Show Hide Columns icon in the top right corner of the policy rule table and select the columns you want to display or deselect the columns you want to hide on the page.
