Contacts, Locations and Vendors Portlets
This section describes the following key portlets:
•
Contacts Portlet
• Contacts Editor
• Locations Portlet
• Vendors Portlet
Contacts Portlet
The Contacts portlet displays available contacts for your system. There is no expanded version of
this portlet, but you can select multiple contacts (Ctrl+click).
By default, this portlet is available by selecting Settings > Groups & Locations from the navigation
bar.
You can right-click to act on the selected contact with the following menu items.
New/Edit —Opens the Contacts Editor , where you can create new contacts or alter existing ones.
Details —Displays a screen with contact-associated alarms, and the information entered in
contacts editor .
Delete— Delete the selected item. Caution: such deletions can impact anything else referring to
what you are deleting.
Because of its simplicity, this portlet does not have an expanded version, so no plus (+) appears in
its upper right corner.
OpenManage Network Manager only retrieves Contact and Location information on initial
discovery. You can modify these once the resource is under management, however doing so will not
modify any system information on the device.
NOTE:
You can import contacts to Multitenant domains with a command line importer. The command is
importcontacts. This script is in the owareapps/redcell/bin directory. It takes the import file
name as a parameter. The domain must exist before it can import contacts, and it generates an error if
the contact specifies no domain, or if the domain does not exist. The required domains should exist in the
OpenManage Network Manager system before import occurs. Example XML files (with the <customer>
tag for domains) are in owareapps\redcell\db.
