NOTE:
You can turn off chat for the application with special branding available through your sales
representative, but not for a single user. Chats are stored in the OpenManage Network Manager
database, but as blobs, so reading chat history, except the date of chats, is problematic.
General Portlet Information
Portlets are the elements of any page within the OpenManage Network Manager (OMNM) portal.
Whether you have access to a portlet and from which page a portlet is accessed is defined by your
system administrator. In your environment, a portlet could be accessed from multiple pages. See
the description of each portlet for more details.
Here are some common portal features related to portlets:
•
Modifying pages by dragging portlets to a different location, adding portlets, or deleting
portlets. The
applications list shows all the available portlets when you select the Add >
Applications menu option.
• Viewing data from both a summary view and an
expanded portlet view for most portlets.
•
Sorting on a column by clicking on that column’s heading. Reverse the sort order by clicking it
again. This only sorts what appears in the portlet, whether expanded or not. The application
remembers each user’s choice saving the last Sort Column and Order on any page. The arrow
to the right of that heading’s text displays the sort direction (ascending or descending). When
the arrow appears in a heading, the selected column is the basis for sorting.
•
Resizing columns by dragging the header border.
•
Print a portlet’s content by exporting by exporting its expanded view content to a PDF, Excel,
or CSV file, open the exported file in the appropriate application, and then printing it.
• All
time stamps are based on the users timezone. It is based upon Greenwich Mean Time
(GMT) and changes depending upon the timezone that you are in when viewing a record.
• Some portlets include editors that appear after you select an item, right-click, and then select
either New or Edit.
Mandatory fields in these editors appear with a red flag icon to their right. That flag may
disappear once you fill in the field. Mandatory fields in an Action appear with a red flag icon
to their right. That flag disappears once you add the action to an Action Group.
• Password fields do not support copy/paste operations. When you type into a password field,
the text shows briefly and then disappears.
