Adjusting the user interface
You can alter several visual and behavioral aspects of the Application Discovery user interface for
the duration of your user session. Application Discovery does not store these changes as user
preferences.
To take advantage of these settings, select the following tabs: Admin/Config, then UI. The following
figure shows the controls available from the UI tab.

Set screen data refresh interval
Application Discovery can automatically refresh data to the interface screens at variable intervals.
You can select the interval you prefer, or you can turn the refresh interval off. The default refresh
interval is 20 minutes.
To change the refresh interval, use the “Refresh interval” drop-down to select the setting that you
prefer.
Your selection is applied automatically and immediately.
Screen refresh when clicking tabs or links:
Screens with long lists of systems, applications, or packages take more time to refresh. If a screen
appears to be empty when you first click to it, please wait a few seconds for the refresh to complete.

Set general visibility
First and foremost, visibility of systems and applications depends on the permissions a user has
for each managed system and application. Users can see only those systems and applications in
Application Discovery tables that they already have permission to access or view.
