Portlets - Dell OpenManage Network Manager Client Manual

Hovering the cursor over a listed
item in the column where a
question mark appears indicates a
"tooltip" with more information is
available for this item. An
informational popup screen
appears after a brief wait to query
the application server. These pop-
ups can include graphs of recent
activity too.
Graphs can appear as lines, bars or
pie graphs, depending on the portlet, device and activity monitored.
NOTE:
Install the latest Adobe Flash for graph functionality.

Portlets

Portlets are the elements of any page within the Dell OpenManage Network Manager web client.
Initially, they appear in a small, summary screen format. Click Add > More... to add a portlet to a
page you have created. See Portlet Instances on page 81 below for the distinction between portlets
that display the same data, and portlets that can exist in more than one instance, displaying
different data.
For a more specific look at available portlets, see the chapters following this one. The following
describe common portlet features.
One of the first portlets typical
users see is Discovery Profiles.
To act on listed items, right-click.
A menu appropriate to the
portlet appears.
The title bar for the portlet
displays its name. To rename it,
click on the name, and the field
becomes editable. You can make
changes, then click the green
checkbox to accept them (or the
red "X" to abandon them). The
