Basic Screen Actions
There are certain processes that are performed in a similar way in each of the operations
screens. These include:
• Selecting items from a list.
• Searching for particular items in a list.
• Sorting a list.
• Getting help
Selecting Entries in Lists
To select one or more entries in a list,
• To select a single entry, left-click anywhere within the entry row.
• To select contiguous entries, click and drag, or click the first entry and Shift-left-click
the last entry. All lines between the first and last entry will be selected.
• To select noncontiguous entries, click the first entry and Ctrl-left-click each additional
entry.
Additionally, the System Manager, Host Manager, and Network Node screens have
Edit > Select menu items that allow you to select all entries in a list or all those entries
with a given tag.
Some lists in the Schedule Manager screen allow only one entry to be selected at a time.
Searching Entries
On the System Manager, Host Manager, and Network Node screens, you can use the
Search > Find menu item to find a particular entry in a large list. A dialog box opens in
which you enter a search string. To repeat the same search, use Search > Find Next.
Sorting Entries
On lists with column titles, you can click on the column title to sort the list by that
column, toggling between ascending and descending orders. You can also select a sort
method from the Sort menu; this alternative allows you to sort by columns that are not
displayed.
