The Edit Zoning dialog has a Zone Sets tree on the left and a Port/Device (or
members) tree on the right. Both trees use display conventions similar to the
fabric tree for expanding and contracting zone sets, zones, and ports. An
expanded port shows the port Fibre Channel address; an expanded address
shows the port World Wide Name. You can select zone sets, zones, and ports in
the following ways:
Click a zone, zone set, or port icon.
Right-click to select a zone set or zone, and open the corresponding popup
menu.
Hold down the Shift key while clicking several consecutive icons.
Hold down the Control key while clicking several non-consecutive icons.
Using tool bar buttons, popup menus, or a drag-and-drop method, you can create
and manage zone sets and zones in the zoning database.

zoning tool bar operations.
