54 Chapter 3 Working with items in the navigation pane
Selecting items
You can select one or more items in the navigation pane. The selected item
determines what appears in the context-sensitive pane, and it receives the actions
of any tasks that you perform in the context-sensitive pane. For example, if you
select a device in the navigation pane, the context-sensitive pane displays
protocols and interfaces for that device.

Working with shortcuts
A shortcut is a representation of an item in the hierarchy. A shortcut is linked to
the database item that it represents, so any change that you make to the shortcut or
to the database item is reflected in the other.
Using shortcuts, you can get multiple views of your network that can help you
solve configuration problems. For example, the navigation pane organizes
network items in a physical manner—you see a device, then its interfaces, then its
protocols, and so forth, as you expand the device. In the navigation pane, a
shortcut is distinguished from the item it represents by a small arrow in the
lower-left corner of the icon.
