Load images contain the operational code that runs in a 2212. Information about specific load images is initially loaded into the NwDM database when you update software inventory for the 2212 (you also have the option of loading the actual Load Image into the database at that time). These load images correspond to the operational code releases of the 2212 software.
Use the Load Images task panel to manage 2212 load images. To display the 2212 Load Images task panel, click Load images from the 2212 folder of the navigation tree.
The Load Images task panel is divided into these panes:
You can display the help panel for the Load Images task panel by clicking Help.
The Filter pane provides a way to search the Deployment Manager database for load images. The Filter pane contains these columns:
After entering data in the Filter pane, click Apply Filter to display the results of the search in the Filtered List pane.
You can search on these load image properties:

Over time the number of load image records stored in the NwDM database can grow to be quite large. Using comparison operators allow you to refine your search of the database so that only load image records that meet specific criteria are returned. For a list of the comparison operators and information about entering data into the Load images filter, see Working with Deployment Manager Filters and Tables.
The results of the search from the Filter are displayed in the Filtered List task pane.
The Filtered List task pane displays each load image as a separate row. To select a load image, click anywhere in the row, which highlights the row. Use one of these methods to select multiple load images:
Information about the load image is displayed in each of the columns. To reorder the columns, press Ctrl and Shift keys, and then click on the header of the column you want to move. The cursor changes to a hand. Drag the cursor to the desired location and release both keys.
You can also sort the Filtered List by the values in a column. Click the column header to sort the Jobs List in ascending order by the values in that column. Click the column header again to sort the values for that column in descending order.
Use the Filtered List action button to perform actions on
one or more selected load images. These action buttons are displayed
for the Filtered List task pane:

The Custom List Pane is a table similar to that displayed in the Filtered List pane. In fact, the action buttons and pop-up menu are the same for the Custom List pane as for the Filtered List pane (except that the Add selected to custom list action button is replaced with Removed selected from custom list action button).
The Custom List pane provides a way to generate a list of load image records based on the results of applying multiple filters. For example, you could apply a filter to generate a list of load image records with a length of 0 for the Filtered List pane that. Next, you would select any or all of those records and click Add selected to custom list to add them to the Custom List pane. Then, you would apply a filter to generate a list of load image records that apply to MRS Version 3. Again, select any or all of these records and apply them to the custom list. The result is a custom list based on the results of different filters.
