A list of existing web scenarios is displayed.

Clicking on the template link will open the web scenario list on the template level. |

Using filter
You can use the filter to display only the scenarios you are interested in. For better search performance, data is searched with macros unresolved.
The Filter link is available above the list of web scenarios. Clicking on it will open a filter where you can specify the desired filtering criteria.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Host groups | Filter by one or more host groups. Specifying a parent host group implicitly selects all nested host groups. |
| Hosts | Filter by one or more hosts. If host groups are already selected above, host selection is limited to those groups. |
| Status | Filter by web scenario status. |
| Tags | Filter by web scenario tag name and value. It is possible to include as well as exclude specific tags and tag values. Several conditions can be set. Tag name matching is always case-sensitive. There are several operators available for each condition: Exists - include the specified tag names; Equals - include the specified tag names and values (case-sensitive); Contains - include the specified tag names where the tag values contain the entered string (substring match, case-insensitive); Does not exist - exclude the specified tag names; Does not equal - exclude the specified tag names and values (case-sensitive); Does not contain - exclude the specified tag names where the tag values contain the entered string (substring match, case-insensitive). There are two calculation types for conditions: And/Or - all conditions must be met, conditions having the same tag name will be grouped by the Or condition; Or - enough if one condition is met. |
