Basic Screen Actions
Certain processes 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
Selecting Entries in Lists
To select one or more entries in a list, follow one of these steps:
• 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 are 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 enable 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, click on the column title to sort the list by that column, toggling
between ascending and descending orders. Alternately, select a sort method from the Sort menu;
this alternative enables you to sort by columns that are not displayed.
