51 Becoming familiar with the SGMI
Working with configurations of objects
■
Select the object, and then on the Edit menu, click Properties .
Properties dialog boxes have two or more tabs:
■
The General tab shows whether the object is enabled and displays its name and a short
caption describing the object.
It may include other information, such as the IP address and MAC Address in this example.
When an object does not have many configurable properties, the General tab may contain all
of the properties.
■
Other tabs may describe additional properties of the object.
■
The Description tab can contain a more detailed description.
For example, you can use the Description tab to record who makes configuration changes or
when they are made. You can then use these details as filter criteria when searching for
objects.

security environment.
To modify the properties of an object

In the object’s properties dialog box, use the tabs to navigate to the property that you want to
change.
