Tree Views

Other Default Tree Views

As with List Views, NetSight Element Manager provides a set of default views for your convenience. Unlike the List Views, however, these default views don’t exclude any nodes; they just exclude some of the information displayed about the nodes. These default views can be used as is, edited to better suit your needs, or deleted entirely.

Default views provided are:

Classes View

The default Classes view displays basic node information (including Status, Name, Address, Model, and Enterprise), and includes information about the functional Classes supported by the node.

Interfaces View

The Interfaces view displays the same basic set of node information (Status, Name, Address, Model, and Enterprise), and includes detailed information about the Interface through which NetSight Element Manager is communicating with each node.

Topologies View

In addition to the basic node information (Status, Name, Address, Model, and Enterprise), the Topologies view displays the name and icon associated with each topology supported by the selected node.

Navigating a Tree View

There are several means you can use to navigate through a Tree View and display (or hide) the information provided about each node. The basic control mechanism is simple: click on an expand box to display any associated sub-branches of information; click on a collapse box to close the sub-branch display. In addition to using the mouse in the Tree View workspace display, however, you can also use the Tree View toolbar (illustrated in Figure 5-5, page 5-6), the View menu, and the arrow keys on your keyboard.

Using the Toolbar and the View Menu

To navigate a tree view via the toolbar or View menu, choose the appropriate button or menu option:

Expand One Level	(View—>Expand) Expands the selected node or
	sub-node heading one level, if it has not already been
	expanded.
Expand Two Levels	Expands the selected node or sub-node heading two
	levels, if the first and second levels have not already
	been expanded. If there is only one level left to
	expand, this button will work the same as the Expand
	One Level button.
