Each selection in this list will add a column of information to your list view. Each of the available options is described below; you must select at least one column to create or save your view.

You can also use the Select All and Unselect All buttons to select or deselect all available column options.

Repeat to order all selected options as desired.

A list 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 4-15); to change the display font, use the Font option (described in Selecting a Display Font, page 4-14).

For more information about the view-specific Excluded Nodes list displayed at the bottom of the List View Properties window, see Excluding Nodes from an Individual View, page 4-18.

Node Information Options

List views can include up to 13 columns of information about the nodes they display. 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) - The status icon turns yellow to indicate that NetSight Element Manager has received a trap from the represented 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.
