Membership
Hierarchical view membership defines the inventory items that are in a hierarchical view. You can
select either a
Static membership, which cannot change, or a Dynamic one, based on a filter or
existing groups. When the OpenManage Network Manager application evaluates the filter it adds
the resulting items as members in the hierarchical view.
The sub-tabs at the top of the screen let you edit these types. You can add individual items with the
Static tab, or the results of a Dynamic filter with that tab. See Managed Resource Groups on page
175 for more about the specifics of editing these dynamic groups.
When you add an item or filter to your hierarchical view, notice that the subsequent screen
contains a pick list
Select an entity of the following type. The contents of that list can contain
several types of managed objects, including Contact, Equipment and Subcomponent, Interface,
Location, Managed Equipment, Port, and Vendor. Select the type appropriate for your hierarchical
view.
Click
Save to preserve the membership you have configured. If you Group By Entity Type (at the
bottom of the screen) rather than
None , the list of devices appears in a tree, with each node as an
entity type. Click the plus (+) to the left of the entity label to expand the tree.
Authorizations
This tab configures user or role access to the hierarchical view you are editing. By default, no
authorization exists to see a hierarchical view or its contents, so you must permit specified users
and roles to have access before any hierarchical views or their contents are visible in the
Hierarchical View portlet.
