Boolean filter

Here are a few things to take into consideration when using the Boolean filter:

  • Remote Desktop Manager use the C# nomenclature (&& for AND, || for OR).

  • Evaluated left-to-right.

  • No parentheses matching.

  • Double-quotes (") are not required or removed, they are part of the text filter, do not use them unless you are looking for a double-quote.

  • Leading/trailing white-spaces are trimmed.

Correct uses of Boolean filters: Boise && Laptop, Boise&&Laptop, Baton Rouge || Boise && Laptop, Laptop && Baton Rouge.

Incorrect uses of Boolean filters: Laptop && "Baton Rouge", which filters for the string "Baton Rouge" and not the string Baton Rouge. Laptop && (Baton Rouge || Boise), which filters for Laptop, and the string (Baton Rouge || Boise).

A filter can be applied in the Navigation pane tree view by typing characters in the Search and filter bar. This feature is accessible from the Remote Desktop Manager macOS quick access toolbar.
