In order to edit a profile, device group, or location properties, you must enter Edit Mode. While you are using Edit Mode, the item you are editing is locked. While an item is locked, no other user will be able to attempt to edit the configuration. Edit Lock has an automatic timeout, at which point you will be prompted in order to continue editing. If you do not respond to the prompt within the time configured, then your edit will be canceled and you will not be able to save your changes.
From the Java Console, you can configure the timeout and the length of time after the prompt appears before the user’s lock is terminated. The timeout for Edit Lock has a default setting of 15 minutes, and the prompt timeout has a default setting of 1 minute.
To use Edit Mode, you employ the following icons located in the toolbar:
|
|
Click Edit to enter Edit Mode so you can make configuration changes. This button is active when you are on the Device Groups, Profiles, Region Properties, or Server Location Properties tabs. |
|
|
Click Cancel to erase any changes you made in edit mode. When you click Cancel, you will exit edit mode. |
|
|
Click Save to save configuration changes. |
Consider the following when using Edit Mode:
| • | When you enter Edit Mode, you will not be able to navigate away from the current tab (for example, Device Groups, Profiles, Region Properties, or Server Location Properties) until you exit Edit Mode. The Navigation Window will not be available while you are in Edit Mode. |
| • | If you create a new profile, you will need to click Edit before you can continue configuration. |
| • | You cannot remove a profile while you are in Edit Mode. You must either save or cancel. You can then select the profile and click Remove Profile. |
| • | When working in software profiles, you do not need to be in Edit Mode to install or configure software packages. However, you must enter Edit Mode to configure any other software package options. |
| • | You do not need to enter Edit Mode to view where profiles are applied. |
