Options

Customize specific utilities in the Options dialog:

• Setting Activity Monitor Options
• Device Monitor Tab and Device Tab: Customizing the Window

Refresh

Use the Refresh option to update the Details view with new information retrieved from the master server(s). You can also elect to refresh the display automatically for Activity Monitor by selecting View > Options > Activity Monitor, then set the refresh rate > Automatically refresh display.

Column Layout

Use the Choose Layout option to choose the columns you wish to display and the order you wish to view them. The Column Layout option is available while using the following applications: Activity Monitor, Policies, Media and Devices.

Sort

Use the Sort option to sort data using up to four columns of sorting criteria in the Sort dialog. The Sort option is available while using the following applications: Activity Monitor, Policies, Media and Devices.

First, select a column to sort on by choosing a column header from the Sort items by pull-down list. For additional sorting, make selections from the next pull-down list, and so on. Click OK to conduct the sort.

To eliminate the sorting selections, open the Sort dialog and click the Clear All button. Then click OK.

The Detail view shows an arrow in the column header of sorted information. The arrow indicates whether the column is sorted by ascending or descending order.

Clicking on the column header reverses the sorting order, but changes the sort to sort on only one column.

To reverse the sort order but maintain the multi-column sort, open the Sort dialog and use the Ascending or Descending radio buttons.

Filter

Use the Filter option to display only those rows that meet specific criteria. All other rows are hidden. Filter works differently from Find: Find highlights the row but does not hide any rows.

The Filter dialog contains two tabs: Basic and Advanced.

• Basic Tab

In the field on the Basic tab, specify characters you wish to filter for in any column.

If you're filtering a large amount of data and you know in which column the data will be found, consider using the Advanced tab to generate results more quickly. When using the Basic tab, for every row, each column is searched until a column with a match is found.

Check Match case to perform a case-sensitive comparison. In many cases, using Match case will speed up the filtering.

Select one of the following:

Starts with: Select to show rows containing columns where characters that start with the specified characters are found.

Contains: Select to show rows containing columns where characters composed of the specified characters are found.

Is exactly: Select to show rows containing columns where characters that match the specified characters exactly are found.

Both tabs contain the following buttons:

Clear All button: Click to remove all filtering criteria from the Filter dialog.

OK button: Click to apply the filtering criteria.

Cancel button: Click to close the dialog without filtering the data.

• Advanced Tab

Use the Advanced Tab to specify characters you wish to filter for under a specific column in the table.

  To Filter using the Advanced tab

1. Open the Filter dialog by right-clicking in the Detail view and selecting Filter.
2. Define the search criteria:
   1. From the Field list, select the name of the column you wish to search.
   2. Choose a Comparison method.
   3. In the Value field, enter the value to be considered in the filtering criteria.

   Depending on the data type, a number spinner may be available for selecting a value. If the value is case-sensitive, a Match case check box is available to perform a case-sensitive comparison.

   4. Check the Add to List button to include the criteria in the criteria list. If you wish to delete one of the filtering criteria, select the item and click Remove.
3. If multiple selection criteria were created, select whether:
   • Matches should be made only if all criteria are met (AND)
   • Matches should be made if at least one of the criteria is met (OR)
4. Select OK to display only those rows in the table that meet the filtering criteria.
