To customize display, access the Preferences tab by clicking on the top node in the navigation tree named `Administration Console`. The page allows you to specify a filter string and page size for each node in the navigation tree.

Table 1-1 Console Display Options

Option | Description
--- | ---
Filter String | The default pattern to search for when retrieving objects in the node. The default setting is an asterisk (*) which displays all objects. Use wildcards as follows: * finds represents zero or more characters. ? retrieves any one character, e.g., J*oe retrieves JDoe, JPoe, JWoe, etc. [ ] represents one character. For example, a search for J?oe will find both JDoe and Jpoe but not JFloe. Brackets [ ] mean match any character inside the brackets. For example, [Aac]* matches Apple, apple, and cat, but does not match Cat.
