          • DisplayName (Platform Name) such as Windows
          • PlatformType such as MicrosoftAD, Ubuntu, RacfLdap
          • PlatformFamily such as Windows, Linux, AIX

          For example, typing in Other could return these platforms: Windows Other, Other Other, and Other.

        • Platform Name: For a more granular search, enter the name of the platform, such as Windows. If you enter Windows without entering a Platform Version, there may be a match on Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016, and Windows 10.
        • Platform Version: Enter the version of the platform, such as Server 2016. For a precise search, enter both the Platform Name and the Platform Version, For example, if you enter the Platform Name as Windows and the Platform Version as Server 2016, then only Windows Server 2016 will be selected.
