Tree Views
You can use the Select All and Unselect All buttons to either select or unselect all
TIP available Node and Interface items.
4.By default, a tree view will list nodes by their assigned Name; if you prefer devices to be listed by IP address, click to select the Display device addresses at node roots option.
Unlike List Views, Tree Views cannot be sorted; nodes will be displayed in numeric order
TIP (if IP addresses are displayed at the node root), or in alphabetical order (if nodes are displayed by Name). Changing the root display (from IP address to Name, or vice versa) will change the order of nodes in the view. By default, a node is assigned its sysName (if one has been configured) for a Name value; you can also choose to assign a different Name value via the node’s Properties window. See Chapter 4, List Views, for more information about configuring node properties.
A tree view configured in this way will display the information you have selected for all nodes in the central node database, using the default display font. To change the node types that will be included in your view, use the Filters option (described in Selecting the Nodes to Display: Using Filters, page

Node Properties Options
Each tree view can include up to 14 branches of information about the nodes it displays, some of which can be further expanded. Information available for display includes:
Status
Indicates the status of NetSight Element Manager’s contact with the node. The possible states are:
•Critical (Red) - The node is in critical condition; it is no longer in contact with NetSight Element Manager.
•Warning (Yellow) - NetSight Element Manager has received a trap from the node. The icon will remain yellow until the trap is acknowledged.
If any node in your central node database is in a Critical or Warning state, this status
TIP condition will be propagated right up to your desktop via the minimized NetSight Element Manager icon — the Task Bar icon representing NetSight Element Manager will change from the inactive window title bar color to the active window title bar color.
