Not all buttons appear in the tool bars of each resource window. If a button's operation is not valid for the currently selected item (or an operation requires an item to be selected, but none is), the outline of the button is displayed in gray, and the function cannot be selected (the button cannot be pressed). The following buttons can appear on resource windows:

Start

Starts the selected item.

Stop

Stops the selected item.

Add

Adds a new resource item. (In the Node window, you

 

add a resource into the selected pane.)

Delete

Deletes the selected resources.

Zoom

the item's configuration.

Copy

dialog whose fields duplicate the configuration of the

 

selected item. Complete the dialog's fields (filling in the

 

new item's name) to add the new resource.

Status
