General Operations

•Shift-left-clickto add or remove contiguous entries, depending on the state of the anchor entry. The anchor entry is unchanged.

If the anchor entry is selected, all intervening entries are selected. If the anchor entry is not selected (e.g., was deselected by Ctrl-left-click), all intervening entries are removed.

If the previous operation was Shift-left-click, the effect of the previous operation is negated.

Searching for the Next Unseen Entry

To select the next unseen alert/error

Step 1. On Alerts/Errors tab of the Network Node screen, use one of:

•Choose the Actions > Next Unseen Alert/Error menu item

•Right-click in the list; select Goto Next Unseen Alert/Error from the menu

•Press Shift-F10

The search begins after the anchor entry. If an unseen entry is found, it is highlighted and other selections are cleared. If only the current entry is unseen or there are no unseen entries, there is no action.

Searching for a String

You can search for an entry in the list on the Alerts or Errors tab based on any string in any column, displayed or not. The search string is case-insensitive.

Starting a Search
