Enabling and disabling tool tips
Fabric Manager table views with multiple columns of information are difficult to view due to narrow
columns or having to use the side-to-side scroll bars. Information in an individual cell of a column or
information in an entire row in a table can be viewed much more easily using tool tips. The tool tips
provide the entire text of a cell or all of the information for a single row when you mouse over the cell or
row. The table view tool tips are enabled by default, but you can disable them.
To enable or disable table view tool tips:
1. Select Configuration > FM Options.
The Options dialog box opens.
2. Expand User Specific and click General from the Configurations tree in the left pane.
3. Enable table view tool tips by selecting the Show Table Tooltips check box, or disable tool tips by
unchecking the box.
4. Click OK.
