2.5 Customizing Views

You can customize the views in the left and right panes in various ways. For example, you can set a different object than My World at the top of the left pane, and you can adjust the column width in the right pane. You can also show or hide the view title in the right pane. In an eDirectory tree, you can filter objects from view in the right pane. (See Section 2.1, Browsing and Finding Objects.)

HINT:Most customizations to the left and right pane are lost when you exit ConsoleOne. Only the window size, position, and view title setting are saved.

2.5.1 Setting the Top Object in the Left Pane

The steps to use depend on which object you want to set at the top, as described in the table below.

Object to Set at the Top

Steps

A container that's below the current top object

Right-click the container > click Set As Root.

A container that's above the current top object

Double-click Up icon in the left pane until the container appears.

My World

Right-click Up icon in the left pane > click Show My World.

2.5.2 Showing or Hiding the View Title in the Right Pane

By default, the right pane contains the Console view. You can switch it to the Partition and Replica view or to another view if one has been added by a snap-in. Regardless of which view the right pane contains, you can show or hide the view title at the top of the right pane.

Your setting to show or hide the view title is saved and used the next time you start ConsoleOne on the same computer.

To show or hide the view title, click View > Show View Title. A check mark is added to or removed from the menu item, depending on whether the view title is being shown or hidden.

2.5.3 Adjusting the Column Width in the Right Pane

  1. Move the mouse pointer to the margin between the first and second columns.

  2. When the pointer changes to a sizing arrow, drag the column to the width you want.
