Portal Toolbar
The global toolbar provides you with easily-accessible options to enhance control of your environment
and data.
The left and right arrow buttons navigate to the previous or next page in the data
area.
The Jobs button launches the Jobs Running status window. This button also
provides access to the Collector status and allows you to stop/restart the Collector
service.
The Collect button launches a wizard allowing you to define and initiate data
collections.
The Remote Commands button allows you to invoke the Remote Commands wizard
from the toolbar without having to access the node.
The Refresh data grid view button refreshes the data grid view. Pressing F5 on the
keyboard accomplishes this as well.
The View row cells button displays a vertically scrolling view of a single row of
data rather than the table-based data grid view in a separate window, and allows
you to move between records.
The Select all displayed data rows button selects all the rows in the data grid.
