Saves the current topology, so that when you return to System

 

 

 

Manager, the saved layout is restored.

in the topology and you want to keep their current location. This

 

 

 

button is not accessible from the Topology tab.

 

 

 

When you click the button, you are asked if you want the layout

 

 

 

to apply to all users.

 

 

 

 

• Yes - All users who log in to the management server see the

 

 

 

topology you created. Only users with system configuration

 

 

 

capability can save their layout for all other users

 

 

 

• No - Other users cannot view the topology you saved. The

 

 

 

saved topology appears the next time you log into the

 

 

 

management server.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Opens a new window containing the topology. This feature lets
