5 Using the Client Property Sheets
The Dashboard Properties window gives you many options for customizing the Dashboard
environment, including the ability to specify which entities are retrieved from Neoview platforms;
the attributes to display for each entity; the state determination algorithm for each attribute; and
the font, graphing options, and host retrieval options to use.
Most Dashboard property sheets are password-protected. However, beginning in Release 2.3,
the OSC and Font property sheets are not password-protected. For access to property sheets:
1. Open the Dashboard Properties window by doing one of:
• In the Browse window, select View > Options.
• In the Session window, select View > Options.
• In the Browse window, click Properties.
• In the Session window, click Properties.
• In the PC-Host Status icon area of the Browse window, click the PC icon.
• In a Browse or Graph window, select Properties from a shortcut menu.
The Dashboard Properties window appears with a logon prompt.
2. At the logon prompt, enter the Dashboard password. If you click Cancel instead, you will
be able to select only the OSC or Font property sheet.
3. Click a property sheet tab to bring it to the front. The available property sheets and their
functions are:

status, date, time, and busy.
