Figure 3-30. Assign To Dialog Box
3
Select the site, location, or folder category from the drop-down list.
4 Select the target from the list of available targets to which the unit can be assigned within
the chosen category. This could be empty if no site, location or folder has been defined in
the local database.
5 Click OK to save the assignment.
-or-
Click Cancel to exit without saving changes.
To drag and drop a unit into a site, department, location or folder:
1 Click and hold on a unit in the Unit list. Drag the item to the node in the tree view of the
Group Selector pane. Release the mouse button. The item now appears in the Unit list
when you click that node.
NOTE: A unit cannot be moved to All Departments, All Units or the root Sites node. Units can only be
moved one at a time.
Deleting and Renaming
The delete function is context-sensitive based on what is currently selected in the Group and
Unit Selector panes. When you select and delete a unit in the Unit list, the unit is removed
from the local database. When you select and delete an item in the tree view of the Group
Selector pane, you will delete Server Types, Sites, Departments, and Folders. However, none of
the actions result in units being deleted from the local database.
The rename function is also context-sensitive. You can select and rename a Remote Console
Switch or a server from the Unit list. You can select and rename server types, sites, departments,
and folder names in the tree view of the Group Selector pane.
NOTE: If you delete or rename a server through the Remote Console Switch Software, the OSCAR
®
server list at the Console Switch becomes out of date. Re-synchronizing will not work in this instance.
Servers should be deleted or renamed from OSCAR
®
and then re-synchronized in the Remote Console
Switch Software.
