Managing Units
Once units are added to the DSView 3 software database, you may group units, display
information, change unit information, launch sessions to units and initiate a variety of
other operations.
Units View Windows
Units View windows display list of units that have been added to the DSView 3 software database.
A user must have unit view access rights to open Units View windows; see About Access Rights on
page 120. Also, units will not display if they are hidden; see Showing and hiding units on page 88.
Each Units View window contains one or more information fields; see Units View windows fields
on page 89.
Units are displayed in a table format with column headings. Use the checkbox to the left of each
unit name to select/deselect the unit for an operation. To select all the units on a page, click the
checkbox at the left of all the column headings at the top of the list - this is usually to the left of the
Name column. Clicking this Select All checkbox will automatically enable the checkboxes for all
units on that page. To deselect items that were previously selected, click on the checkbox.
When you click the checkbox at the top of the list, all units on the current page are selected (or
deselected if they were previously all selected). If the list of units spans more than one page, units
on subsequent pages will not be selected. You can specify how many items will appear on a Units
View page (that is, the number of rows); see
Using the Customize link in windows on page 12.
Types of Units View windows
There are four types of Units View windows, which are accessed by clicking tabs and side
navigation bar links. For information about using the collapse/expand icons in the side navigation
bar, see
Using the side navigation bar on page 9.
Any Units View window that contains managed appliances may also be viewed using the topology
feature, which displays a hierarchical structure; see
Topology view on page 86.
