Units View Windows
The Units View windows display the list of units that have been added to the Management Appliance database.
Units are displayed in a table format with column headings. You can use the checkbox to the left of each unit name to select/deselect the unit for an operation. To select all the units on a page, click the checkbox at the left of all the column headings at the top of the list - this is usually to the left of the Name column. Clicking the Select All checkbox will automatically enable the checkboxes for all units on that page. To deselect items that were previously selected, click to select the checkbox.
If the list of units spans more than one page, units on subsequent pages will not be selected.
