Using the Customize link in windows
Windows that contain a Customize link allow you to change the following information:
• The number of items displayed per page in the window
• Which columns of information are displayed in Units View windows
• Showing units that have been hidden in Units View windows
The items available for customizing and methods for changing them will vary, depending on the
window being customized. Although the items that appear in windows may vary, the items that do
appear are modified identically regardless of the window in which you clicked the Customize link.
DSView 3 software administrators may also configure the default display for customizable
windows, that is, which columns will be displayed and how many items will be displayed per page
by default. The default values will be used by all new users and by existing users who have not
already customized their views.
To customize a window using the Customize link:
1. In a window containing a Customize link in the upper right corner, click the link. A View
Customization window will open.
2. Add, remove or move fields in the window display:
• To add one or more fields to the window display, select the fields in the Available Fields
list, then click Add. The fields will be moved to the Fields to Show list.
• To remove one or more fields from the window display, select the fields in the Fields to
Show list, then click Remove. The fields will be moved to the Available Fields list.
• To change the order that fields display from left to right in the window, select one or more
fields in the Fields to Show list. Use the up or down arrow to change its order in the list.
3. To specify the number of items that appear in a window, use the arrow keys in the Items per
Page field to select a number or type a number (1-2000). In Units View windows that have the
topology view enabled, the number of items per page includes children, even if the display is
collapsed and the children are not visible.
4. To show hidden items in a Units View window (see Showing and hiding units on page98).
a. Check the Show hidden items checkbox.
b. Select Visibility from the Available Fields column, and then click Add. Visibility will
move to the Fields to Show list.
5. To show group descendants in windows that display unit groups (see Unit group hierarchy on
page 194), click the Show group descendants checkbox.
