Workspace Options

The Workspace options (displayed by default, as illustrated in Figure 2-7) control various settings for the NetSight Element Manager interface. You select or deselect each option by clicking the associated checkbox. A checked box indicates that the associated option is selected; a blank box indicates that option is deselected.

Show Splash window at startup

The Splash window is an identifying screen that will briefly appear when you initialize NetSight Element Manager. Selecting this option will cause the screen to be displayed; deselecting it will suppress the screen.

Show Tooltips

Tooltips are small pop-up windows that provide user assistance by identifying controls such as toolbar buttons. Selecting Show Tooltips will cause these to be displayed when the mouse cursor is dragged over a toolbar icon; deselecting the option will suppress them. You may want to leave this option selected until you are comfortable visually identifying all the toolbar options by their icons.

Autofill IP address fields

When this option is selected, the dotted decimal IP address octets set via the Network options (or via the Welcome Wizard) will be automatically entered in any field that requires an IP address.
