Viewing objects and object properties

Objects in the system are displayed in the Main Window and Tabular View.

See “Main window” on page 14.

The tree is a hierarchical display of object groups. The Tabular View displays a table of objects and a limited set of properties.

In the VEA client, objects typically represent entities in the product domain. For example, in the case of Veritas Volume Manager, the object might be a disk. You can use the views to browse objects and guide the operation of the client console.

There are four main views:

■Navigation View, at the left, which uses the tree structure

■Detailed View, at the right, which used table structure

■Console View, at the bottom

■Tasks View, at the bottom

The following functions are provided for simplifying viewing objects in the tree and Tabular View:

■To expand or collapse the hierarchy under a particular object group node in the tree:

Click on the plus sign (+) or minus sign (-) icon next to that node.

■To display the objects in an object group listed in the object tree:

Click on the object group. All objects that belong to the selected object group appear in Tabular View.

■To display the objects in an object group listed in Tabular View: Double-click on the object group. All objects that belong to the object group appear in Tabular View.

Double-clicking on an object that does not contain other objects (children) displays the Properties window for the object instead of its children.
