Using Hierarchies
Use hierarchies as follows.
1 Create the hierarchies you would like for filtering resource views.
For example, create a hierarchy for each customer or location.
CAUTION:
By default, hierarchies are configured without any authorizations. Make sure that you configure
authorizations so you can see the hierarchy once it is configured. Otherwise, it is not visible.
a. Navigate to the Hierarchical View Manager portlet (Alarms/Events > Hierarchical View).
b. Right-click the portlet and then select New.
The Creating New Root Hierarchical View window is displayed.
c. Enter a name and description.
d. Specify membership, such as customers.
e. Set Authorizations.
f. Choose the topology display object.
g. Click Save.
2 Create a page with the Managed Resources portlet or other hierarchy-filtered portlets (Ports,
Alarms, and so on).
3 Add the Hierarchical View portlet to that page.
4 Select the hierarchy by which to filter.
5 Observe the other portlets to see resources assigned to the selected hierarchy, such as,
customer or location.
