Customizing the Phone Activities Display

Customizing the Phone Activities Display

After setting up a view, you can customize your Phone Activities display by selecting specific views and using filters:

•Views control the device groups that appear on the Phone Activities display. See Selecting Views for the Phone Activities Display, page 5-6.

•Filters control the specific phone model you monitor, along with alert severities and their status. See Filtering Phone Activities, page 5-6.

Selecting Views for the Phone Activities Display

When you select Monitoring Dashboard > IP Phones to open the Phone Activities display, all available views are listed in the view pane on the left side of the display. If the views shown do not meet your needs, you can create a new view as described in Managing Views, page 6-1.

The view pane is updated every two minutes. You can have up to 18 views in the view pane in a single Phone Activities display. See Managing Views, page 6-1for information on how to manage your views.

Filtering Phone Activities

Filters allow you to manipulate the Phone Activities display to show alerts based on their extension number, phone model, and activity type.

Note Once you use an alert filter, the filter is applied to all of your views until you change the filter; other clients are not affected. When you end your session, your filters are lost. Filters do not affect severity icons in the view pane.

Step 1 Select Monitoring Dashboard > IP Phones. The Phone Activities display opens.

Step 2 Click the filtering button in the tool button area at the top-right of the Phone Activities display. Figure 5-4shows the Phone Activity Filters dialog box.
