Hello!

 

How can I define a VM group to include VMs based on the text contained in annotations for the VM summary?

 

I saw that I can create a filter rule to exclude VMs using the Notes field. But I want to include based on the Notes fields. How to achieve that?

 

Regards,

Pedro

Hi @PedroRocha 

You will need to define a rule in the content section, this rule can be based on Notes. The value then needs to be a format indicating your annotation formatting. For example if your annotation starts with the text VMBackupOn then you could use "VMBackupOn*"
