Alerts and Max Alerts Custom Views
amount of data displayed at any given time to those items that are of most critical
interest.
You can switch between all client and max client modes whenever you want. The
underlying view data is not changed.
Alerts and Max Alerts Custom Views
The Alerts and Max Alerts Custom View windows contain most of the features of the
standard Alerts and Max Alerts windows, along with the new Custom View features that
make them easier to use. If you want, you can use the Custom View windows instead of
the standard windows. To enable this feature, check Use Custom View Alerts Window
on the General tab of the OEM Options dialog box.
A key difference between the Alerts and Max Alerts Custom Views and other Custom
Views is that you cannot configure specifiers for the Alerts or Max Alerts views. In the
case of the Alerts Custom View, however, you can supply a minimum state value to
display using the Alerts Min State field on the toolbar. To include all objects, enter a 0
in this field. To include only those objects at a given state or higher, enter that value in
the field. For example, a Min State value of 5 causes the Alerts Custom View to include
only those objects whose state is 5 or higher.
Custom View Window Layout
Custom View windows contain several features that make them easier to use than
standard OEM display windows.
Custom View Object List
The Object List contains the actual view data in the Custom View window. In addition
to the object names, you can display the object state and context, as well as the name of
the client application that reported the object.
You can view data in any of four ways: large icons, small icons, list and details. Large
Icon view, Small Icon view, and List view show only the object name. Details view
shows the object name, state, context, and client name.
The data in the Object List portion of the screen is defined by the display mode of the
view. In hierarchical mode, the Object List contains only those objects at the current
level of the view. To see objects at a different level, you must ascend or descend within
the hierarchy. In object-based mode, all lowest-level objects are displayed
simultaneously. No navigation is necessary to obtain information on an object.
