INTRODUCTION TO THE HIVEMANAGER GUI
Cloning Configurations
When you need to configure multiple similar objects, you can save time by configuring just the first object, cloning
it, and then making slight modifications to the subsequent objects. With this approach, you can avoid re-entering
repeated data.

Multiselecting
You can select multiple objects to make the same modifications or perform the same operation to all of them at
once.

2. Click
To clone an object, select it in an open window, and then click the Clone button.
Retain the settings you want to keep, and modify those you want to change.
Here, you use the shift-click multiselection method to select a set of the topmost eight HiveAPs in
the list; that is, you select the check box for the top HiveAP and hold down the SHIFT key while
selecting the check box for the eighth HiveAP from the top.
Select the check boxes to select multiple noncontiguous objects, or shift-click to select check
boxes for multiple contiguous objects.
Then click Accept to accept all the selected HiveAPs for HiveManager management, or click
the Modify button to configure them with the same settings.
