Overview Information
You can easily customize the way information
is displayed within any of the panes in Machine View or Scan View.
•You
can reorder the columns by clicking and dragging the column headers
to new locations.
For example, if you want missing patch information
to be displayed in the first column of the top pane, simply click on the
Missing Patch Count icon and drag
it to the first column.
TIP: When reordering columns, the column header you are moving will always
be placed in front of the column you drag it to.
•You
can apply filters to one or more column headers.
Hover over a column header and then click the filter
icon located in the upper-right corner. For example:
Use the filter menu to select which of the values currently
contained in the column should be displayed. When you apply a column filter,
the filter definition will be displayed beneath the pane. You can use
this to confirm which column filters have been applied to the current
display, and you can edit the filter. For example:
•You
can right-click within a column header and perform a number of additional
actions.

Group
By This Column
|
Groups
the table using the data in the selected column. It does this
by moving the data into expandable lists that are located in the
body of the grid. One expandable list will be created for each
possible column value.
If you perform this action on any subsequent columns, that data
will be presented as nested groups at increasingly lower levels
within the expandable lists.
If Show Group By Box
is enabled, this will also create a "Group By" box in
the area immediately above the column headers.
TIP: To
turn off the Group By This Column
feature and revert to the original view: Enable Show
Group By Box, drag the Group By boxes back to the column
header and then right-click in the column header and select Hide Group By Box.

Show
Group By Box / Hide Group By Box
|
Displays
or hides an area immediately above the column headers that contains
"Group By" boxes. One "Group By" box will be displayed
for each column header for which Group
By This Column is currently enabled. You can also drag
column headers to and from this area.
The table will be grouped according to the data in the box.
If there are two or more boxes then the grouping will be nested,
with the left-most box presented at the highest level, the second
box presented at the second level, etc.

Hide

the column from the table. You can add the column back to the
table using the Column Chooser.
|

you to add and hide information within a pane. When you select
Column Chooser the Customization dialog is displayed.
This dialog is used to store the columns you don't currently want
displayed within the pane. Simply click and drag the desired column
headers from the table to the Customization dialog. For
example, if you decide you want to add the Bulletin release date
column to the table, simply drag that column header from the Customization
dialog to the table.
If you decide you want an item back in the table, simply click
and drag it from the Customization dialog back to the table.
