Figure 2-7. The Options Window (with Workspace Options Selected)
Workspace Options
The Workspace options (displayed by default, as illustrated in Figure 2-7 ) control various
settings for the NetSight Element Manager interface. You select or deselect each option by
clicking the associated checkbox. A checked box indicates that the associated option is
selected; a blank box indicates that option is deselected.
Show Splash window at startup
The Splash window is an identifying screen that will briefly appear when you initialize
NetSight Element Manager. Selecting this option will cause the screen to be displayed;
deselecting it will suppress the screen.
Show Tooltips
Tooltips are small pop-up windows that provide user assistance by identifying controls
such as toolbar buttons. Selecting
Show Tooltips will cause these to be displayed when
the mouse cursor is dragged over a toolbar icon; deselecting the option will suppress them.
You may want to leave this option selected until you are comfortable visually identifying
all the toolbar options by their icons.
Autofill IP address fields
When this option is selected, the dotted decimal IP address octets set via the Network
options (or via the Welcome Wizard) will be automatically entered in any field that
requires an IP address.
