Control Panel | Getting Started with Dell OpenManage Network Manager
Tips describing these screens and fields appear
when you hover the cursor over fields, or click the
blue circle around a question mark next to them.

disappearance of the tip.
Users with less-than-Administrator permissions may not see all of the features described in this
guide.
Search Indexes
Sometimes Dell OpenManage Network Manager may display Control Panel objects like users,
roles, and organizations inaccurately. This occurs because search Indexes need to be re-indexed
every so often, especially when changes to roles, users and organizations are frequent.
To re-index go to Control Panel > Server Administration and then click on the
Reindex all search
indexes
. This takes little time.
