9.1.7 Creating a Default Log View Template
A default log view template enables you to create a customized template with a
specific set of columns, their position, and size. The template also contains sorting
applied to the column data. Any new Log View Definition is always based on the
default template.

columns. You can also apply sorting on the displayed data.

 A message box displays.
3. Click Yes.
 The log view is saved as a default template.
NOTE 1:
There can only be one default template. You can create a new template or use
the one provided by the system. When you create a new template, the existing
default template is overwritten. The default template in a distributed environment
is system specific. So, if there are 3 systems configured for a distributed
environment, each system will have its own default template.
NOTE 2:
View-specific columns in the log view template display in red color, if the view is
deleted. You can get the details of the invalid columns by double-clicking the
header text. The information displays in the Log View Validation message box.
NOTE 3:
If a saved log view definition contains view specific columns from a deleted view,
the Log View Validation message box displays with details of the invalid columns
when selecting the Log View Definition.
