Making Object Selections

System Browser offers you the following two methods for making objects the

primary selection in System Manager:

 Automatic Selection (default): For selecting a single-object, you click the object,

and it then automatically becomes the new primary selection in System

Manager. For selecting multiple objects, you press and hold the

CTRL key or

the

SHIFT key while highlighting the objects. Upon releasing either key, the

objects become the new primary selection in System Manager.

 Manual Selection: First, check the Manual Navigation box, then highlight the

object(s) in one of three ways: 1) Clicking the object(s), 2) Pressing and holding

the

CTRL key while clicking the object(s), or 3) pressing and holding the SHIFT

key while clicking the beginning and ending range of objects. To make the

highlighted object(s) the primary selection for System Manager, you can right-

click and choose

Send to the Primary Pane, or click the Send button. When

selecting a single object, you can also double-click the object to make it the

primary selection.

Dragging-and-Dropping

System Browser supports drag-and-drop of single or multiple objects from any of

the views—including the

Search Result view—to Trends, Schedules, and Reports.

You can cancel a dragging operation by pressing the

ESC key or by dragging the

object(s) back to the original view (or other no-drop zone) and then dropping them.
