Creating And Selecting Screen Layouts - Dell OpenManage Network Manager Quick Reference Manual

Creating and Selecting Screen Layouts

You can customize the layout of the Device view by adding, removing, or reordering the sub panels.
Changes to this layout can be saved. In addition OpenManage Network Manager remembers the
last layout used. So if you change the screen appearance, the screen layout that appears just before
closing the client is the same one that appears when you restart the client. This applies even for
different users when they share the same computer.
You can save and select layouts later using the <Select Layout> control shown in Figure 2-2. The
easiest way to change the layout is to drag and drop the sub panels to a new location. However, you
can manually edit the layout by selecting the Layout > New Layout menu to open the menu
editor.
Figure 2-2. Layout Editor
You can select a single column or wide/narrow or narrow/wide two-column arrangement, and then
select the content for each column. A pick list above the column's content lets you select what else
can go in that column. Click the plus (+) button to add content you have selected in the pick list.
When you select content in a column, you can also click up/down arrows to re-arrange the order in
which content appears. The right/left arrows let you move the selected content from one column to
another in the two column screens. Figure 2-2 shows an example of configuring a two column
layout.
