Sizing Objects Window Columns

You can resize the columns in the Objects window:

•

To resize each of the columns in the window, select the divider between column

headings and drag it right or left as desired.

•

To resize all columns at once:

1. From the View menu, choose Size Columns.

2. Choose Defaults, Size To Window, or Size To Contents. The behavior of each

of these options is as follows:

The OEM saves the adjusted column widths in the system registry. These values are

used the next time an Objects window is created.

Aligning Objects Windows

You can resize and align all Objects windows using the dimensions of the currently

selected Objects window:

•

To align Objects windows, choose Align Windows from the View menu. All

Objects windows are tiled and resized to match the current window.

•

To specify the tiling method, choose Top Down or Side By Side from the OEM

Options window General tab.

Locking the Objects Window

The OEM Server automatically updates all display windows whenever new data is

received from a client application. In some cases, you might want to prevent this action

from occurring for a particular window; for example, if you are analyzing the data in the

window and want to ensure that it does not change until you are finished.

To lock and unlock a window:

•

To lock a display window, choose Locked from the View menu.

The indicator (Locked) is appended to the window title, and the OEM does not

update the window contents if new data is received. You can manually update the

window at any time by choosing Refresh from the View menu.

•

To unlock a display window and re-enable updates, choose Locked from the View

menu again.

Menu Item Action Performed

Defaults Sizes each column using the saved value for that column.
