With the ConfigMgr 2203 release, Microsoft introduced a new feature allowing administrators to filter products within the Software Update Point properties. This enhancement enables SCCM administrators to efficiently locate and manage products for synchronization, streamlining the process of enabling or disabling them.
If you have been following me on X (Twitter), I mentioned the ability to add a search box on the Products tabs of Software Update Point Properties. I had submitted this as feedback, hoping Microsoft would include the feature in a future update. I’m pleased to share that Microsoft took my suggestion into account and has finally added this valuable option.
A search box or filter feature would greatly assist admins in quickly locating products from the extensive list in the Software Update Point. Without this functionality, admins are forced to scroll through the entire list to find a specific product, which is both inefficient and time-consuming. So go ahead and upgrade to Configuration Manager 2203 to see this new feature.
ConfigMgr Software Update Point Filter Products
To locate the Filter products option in the console, use these steps:
- Launch the ConfigMgr console.
- Go to Administration\Overview\Site Configuration\Sites.
- Select your site and, in the top ribbon, click Configure Site Components > Software Update Point.
- In the SUP properties, select the Products tab, and here should find the Filter Products option.
In the Filter search box, you can enter the name of any product, and it will be populated or filtered from the list of products. The filter option has been incorporated into the SUP properties in the 2203 release, as illustrated in the screenshot below.
Conclusion
I was thrilled to see that the feature I requested a while ago was included in the 2203 release. The takeaway here is if you have any suggestions, don’t hesitate to send feedback through the ConfigMgr console. If your idea is valuable, the ConfigMgr product team will implement it.
