ACE Management Server Administrator's Manual
Show, Hide, and Move Columns in the Instance View
Although you can sort and resize columns in either the VMware ACE Help Desk or the
Workstation instance view, you can show, hide, and move columns only in the
Workstation instance view.
Column changes for one server do not affect other servers.
To show, hide, and move columns in the instance view
1
In Workstation, connect to the ACE Management Server and log in.
See "Use the Instance View in Workstation" on page 61.
2
To show or hide a column, right‐click the column heading row and select or
deselect the column to show or hide.
If you show a column that was previously hidden, the column is added to the right
side of the table.
3
To move a column, click the column header, drag the column to a new location, and
release the mouse button.
Create or Delete Custom Columns in the Instance View
Custom columns enable you to add categories of information about the instances that
an ACE Management Server manages. For example, you can add a Help Ticket column
to record the ID associated with end users' support requests.
You can create custom columns only in the Workstation instance view. In the instance
view table, you can add, delete, and rename up to nine custom columns.
To create or delete custom columns in instance view
1
In Workstation, connect to the ACE Management Server and log in.
See "Use the Instance View in Workstation" on page 61.
2
Right‐click the column heading row and choose Add Custom Column.
3
Type a name for the new column in the Name text box and click OK.
4
To change the name of or delete a custom column, right‐click the custom column
header and choose a command from the context menu.
After you create a custom column, use the Instance Details page for each ACE instance
to add information to display. See "Add Information for Custom Columns" on page 67.
