Window Sizing

Cable Management allows for the different areas of the main screen within the normal application view to be resized as the user sees fit. After clicking on the Launch Application link on the Cable Management home page, the screen will be divided into four key areas: the Navigator Tree, the Location Info area, the List area, and the Detail area. The user can utilize Cable Management's grab-and-drag capability by placing the mouse pointer over any of the dividing lines between these areas and holding it down. Many users enjoy viewing several items in a spreadsheet view and can do so by grabbing the dividing line between the List and Detail areas and dragging it down to multiply the number of items accessible in the spreadsheet view.

These areas can be resized repeatedly and manipulated according to user need.

NOTE

Search Function

Records shown in the List View table of the Cable Management window can be searched across multiple fields, using whatever search text you enter.

Using the search function

Step 1 In the Navigation Tree, highlight the level of the records you wish to search for (for example, Company, Building, Floor, and so forth).

Step 2 In the List View, select from the drop-down category list to choose the records to search.

Step 3 Click the Search button above the table.

Step 4 A separate window will appear containing the records of the infrastructure level and category you already chose. In the Search Text box, enter your search string.

Step 5 Click the Search button. The data in the table will change to display only those records containing your search text. (If there are no records with that text, a message box will alert you.)

	From the search window, you can change the component category from the drop-
	down list and perform another search. However, to change the level on the Navigator
NOTE	Tree, you must return to the Cable Management window and highlight the new
	location on the Navigation Tree.

From the search window, you can also do the following:

• Copy the table data to the clipboard for pasting in another application.

• Export the table data to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.

• Print the detail report for the currently highlighted item in the table.

• Use the standard table sorting and item section features available on all Cable Management tables.

• Click the box in the first column by any item to open the Detail View for that item and make any changes.
