Avocent DSView - Saving Information in a Window; Using the Customize Link in Windows

14 DSView Installer/User Guide
Saving information in a window
When you change information in a DSView Explorer window, you must click Save in order to
apply the changes. By default, a message box will appear if you click Close or try to exit the
window by clicking a link in the top bar, top navigation bar or side navigation bar without first
clicking Save.
Clicking OK in the message box will exit the current window without saving the changes. If you
wish to save the changes you have made, click Cancel in the message box and then click Save in
the window.
You may choose whether or not to be reminded to save changes made to windows before exiting
them. See Changing user options on page 18 for more information.
Using the Customize link in windows
DSView Explorer windows that contain a Customize link allow you to change the
following information:
• Which columns of information are displayed
• The number of items displayed per page in the window
• Showing units that have been hidden (Unit Views windows)
The items available for customizing and methods for changing them will vary, depending on the
window you choose to customize. Although the items that appear in windows may vary (depending
on the window you customize), the items that do appear are modified identically regardless of the
window from which you clicked the Customize link.
