The Tree View Workspace

Figure 5-1. Getting Around the Tree View Workspace

The default tree views provided with NetSight Element Manager are placed in the root Tree Views folder. All of these default views — except the read-only All Nodes Tree View — can be edited or deleted; you can also add additional views and/or folders.

Adding a Folder to the Workspace

As a means of organizing a collection of Tree Views, you can add a folder to the Tree View page of the workspace; each folder you create will be contained within the root Tree Views folder, and each can contain one or more tree views, as well as additional folders. Note that folders are a workspace display convention only, and they can only be created from within the workspace itself.

To create a folder:

1.Display the Tree View page of the workspace by clicking on the tab in the Workspace View.

2.Click the right mouse button on the folder to which you want to add a new folder; that folder will be highlighted (as illustrated in Figure 5-2), and a menu displays.
