The initial Packages list displays all packages stored on Artifactory. To make use of this list, you need to use the filtering option to focus on the packages that you want to examine. You can use the filtering option to filter packages based on package types, package names, and other criteria to display only the packages that you want to view.
To filter the packages list:
In the All Packages list, go to the Filters section on the right side of the screen.
Filter the Packages list according to the following:
Package Type: You can choose multiple package types. For example, if you choose Docker and Maven, the filter will list all Docker and Maven packages stored on Artifactory.
Package Name: Enter a full or partial name. Wildcard search is applied to both the prefix and suffix of the text you enter. For example, if you enter thon and there is a package with the full name is Python, the filter will list the package.
Description: The filter will search for the text that you enter here in the metadata descriptions of all packages and will list those packages where the text is found in any part of the metadata description.
Keywords: If you are looking for packages that have keywords, enter the keyword here. Only one keyword is allowed.
Created On: Choose from one of the following:
Note
This filter applies only to the creation date of the first version of the package.
Last 7 Days: The filter will list packages created in the last 7 days.
Last 30 Days: The filter will list packages created in the last 30 days.
Last 90 Days: The filter will list packages created in the last 90 days.
Custom: The filter will list packages created between the start and end dates that you choose here.
Note
When you apply any of the filter options above, a green dot appears by the option to indicate that this option is applied.
Saving Filters for Reuse
Once you have filtered the Packages list to display the packages you want to review, you can save the filtered list and come back to it at a later point in time.
To save a filtered list of packages:
At the bottom of the Filters section, click Save New View.
The View Name prompt appears.
In the View Name prompt, enter a descriptive name for the view and click Save. A short name is recommended since the name space in the UI is limited.
The view is saved, and appears at the top of the Packages list next to the Recently Viewed and All Packages tabs.
Once you have saved a view, there are further actions you can perform on it such as renaming the view, deleting it, or making it your default view. See the following section for instructions on managing Custom Views.
Note
You can create up to 8 Custom Views.
Once you have created a Custom View, you can update it by displaying the view and clicking Update Custom View in the Filters section.
Clicking on a package in the list to view it's details will cause that package to be added to the Recently Viewed list, described below.
Custom Views can only be created from the All Packages tab.
Custom Views are saved on the browser cache level.
Managing Custom Views
Once you have created a Custom View, there are further actions you can perform on it such as renaming the view, deleting it, or making it your default view.
To perform an action on a Custom View:
Hover over the Custom View with your mouse so that 3 vertical dots appear to the right of the view name.
Click the 3 dots.
A drop-down menu appears.
From the drop-down, choose the action that you want to perform on the view.
Recently Viewed
After you have started to use the Packages list and display information on specific packages, you can view those packages again by clicking Recently Viewed at the top left of the screen, which displays up to the 10 most recently viewed packages.
