214DSView 3 Software Installer/User Guide

When you click on a unit group in the side navigation bar that has a document icon (that is, it has no subgroups), a window will open, listing the units in the group. This window can include the same fields as other Units View windows; see Units View windows fields on page 107. You may enable or disable a field display using the Customize link. See Using the Customize link in windows on page 28.

When you customize this window, you may also enable/disable the display of descendants. When enabled and a unit group is selected in a side navigation bar, the window will display all descendants of the group. When disabled, only the immediate children of the selected group will be displayed.

To display information about a unit group:

1.Click the Units tab.

2.Click Groups in the top navigation bar.

3.Click the group container or the parent group of the unit group you want to display information about.

4.Click on the unit group name.

5.The side navigation bar will contain information links about the selected unit group.

•Click Name in the side navigation bar to display the unit group name.

•Click Groups to display a list of groups that are members of the unit group.

•Click Units to display a list of units that are members of the unit group.

Adding or deleting a unit group

To add a unit group:

1.Click the Units tab.

2.Click Groups in the top navigation bar. The Unit Groups window will open.

3.Click the checkbox next to the group container (Global Root or Personal Root) or the group name that you want to be the parent of the new unit group.

4.Click Add. The Add Unit Group window will open.

5.Type a 1-64 character name for the unit group. The name must be unique within the parent group. For example, two groups can be named “development” but they cannot both be members of the unit group “Huntsville.” (This unique name restriction does not apply to personal unit groups that are owned by different users.)

6.If you do not want the unit group (or any of its child unit groups) to appear in the side navigation bar, enable the Do not display this unit group nor any child unit groups as unit views checkbox.
