HP Netsight manual Selecting Node Information to Display

List Views

NOTE

When you add a new list view by any of the means described above, it will be added to the folder which is currently selected in the List View workspace; if you add a list view by right-clicking in a blank area of the workspace, the new view will be added to the root folder. Once a List View has been added, it cannot be moved from folder to folder. All folders and views are listed in the workspace in alphabetical order.

To edit an existing list view:

1.With the appropriate list view open and selected in the NetSight Element Manager primary window, select View —> Properties from the primary window menu bar.

or

In the List View Workspace area, click the right mouse button on the name or icon associated with the view you wish to edit, and select Properties from the resulting menu.

or

Click with the right mouse button anywhere in the view you wish to edit, and select List View Properties from the resulting menu.

The List View Properties window will be displayed.

The procedures for creating a new List View and editing an existing one are virtually identical; they are described in the following sections.

NOTE

If you open the List View Properties window for the All Nodes List View, note that all fields are grayed out; remember, the only thing you can change about this view is the font in which its information is displayed. See Selecting a Display Font, page 4-14, for more information.

Selecting Node Information to Display

The main List View Properties window allows you to assign or change the name of your list view, select the information that will be displayed for each node, and select the order in which it will be displayed.

To set up or modify a list view:

1.By default, a new list view will be named New List View X, where X will increment sequentially as necessary to provide a unique name. To change this default (or the original name assigned to any view), highlight the text in the Name field and delete, then enter a new name.
