Using basic features of the Sentinel screen views
Once your data is displayed on the map of the Sentinel screen, as described in Monitoring movement on the Sentinel screen and Verifying you are sending the requested data, you can organize how the data is displayed on a number of the views be grouping, filtering and sorting the data to meet your needs. You can also specify what data is displayed on the views and what the columns are titled. This topic describes how to do these tasks.
This feature requires option E14 Sentinel. If you do not have this option this feature is not available.

Grouping listings can be useful for many reasons, for example when you want to sort IP addresses by IPv6 and Cellular Providers when trying to determine a phone for a suspect.

Filtering view listings
To filter the listings on the view select the column title you want to filter by, then in Show rows where select which data you want to display.
When a column has a filter applied to it the column title displays a filter icon and the complete column is displayed in color.
If you want to clear the filter, select the column title which has the filter applied and select Clear.
Sorting view listings
The view listings can be sorted in alphabetic or numerical ordering. For example, by default the Communication summary view lists the data in "Last Msg Time" order with the most recent data listed first.
If you want to change the alphabetic or numerical ordering of the listings click the arrow next to the column title. The direction of the arrow and the ordering of the listings are reversed. Sorting can also be applied when columns are grouped as shown in the following graphic.
