23Using the VEA
Viewing objects and object properties
■ To display the objects in an object group listed in Tabular View:
Double-click on the object group. All objects that belong to the object group appear
in Tabular View.
(Double-clicking on an object that does not contain other objects (children) displays
the Properties window for the object instead of its children.)
■ To sort the objects in Tabular View by a specific property:
Click on the appropriate property column heading. To reverse the sort order, click on
the column heading again.
■ To resize a grid column:
Place the pointer over the line that divides the column headings, then press and hold
the mouse button to drag the column divider to the desired position.
■ To resize the left pane (tree) and right pane (Tabular View):
Place the pointer over the vertical splitter, then press and hold the mouse button to
drag the splitter to the desired position.
Selecting objects
You can select Tabular View objects in most VEA windows using the following
procedures:
■ To select a single object:
Click on the object.
■ To select multiple objects:
Hold down the Control key while selecting the objects. The objects that you select in
this way do not have to be adjacent.
■ To select a range of adjacent objects:
Select the first object, then hold down the Shift key while selecting the last object in
the range. You can also select multiple adjacent objects by pressing and holding the
mouse button while dragging the pointer over the desired objects.
Navigational View
Navigational View supports object browsing and operations on those objects in a tree
structure. The following nodes typically appear in this view:
■ System nodes: representing the connected and disconnected computer systems, these
are distinguished by icons.
■ Network nodes: listing the systems that are currently running on the given domain.
■ History nodes: listing the most recently connected servers.
■ Favorite Hosts nodes: listing hosts that will be connected by default at start up.
