In standard mode WebAdmin only displays a subset of the configuration parameters. The hidden parameters are set automatically in the background.

The export mode is ideally suited for systems with more demanding configuration requirements. The switchover from one of the modes to the other is available only at the Administrator authorization level. |

The filter function of WebAdmin displays only list entries that meet the filter criterion. All list columns are taken into consideration. If, for instance, you filter by “Mi” in the user list, all users are displayed whose names contain the character string “mi”, but also all users who have assigned a Mitel phone.
Enter the filter criterion in the input field near the Filter button then click the Filter button.
