Specify console preferences

Use this topic to customize how much data displays on an console panel.

Throughout the console are pages that have Preferences fields, Scope fields, and Filter radio buttons. By selecting these fields and radio buttons we can customize how much data is shown.

For example, examine the Preferences field for the Administrative authorization groups page:

1. Go to the navigation tree of the console and click Security > Administrative authorization groups.

2. Expand Preferences.

3. For the Maximum rows field, specify the maximum number of rows to display when the collection is large. The default is 20. Rows that exceed the maximum number display on subsequent pages.

4. Select Retain filter criteria to retain the last filter criteria that is entered in the filter function. When you return to the Applications page, the page initially uses the retained filter criteria to display the collection of applications in the table following the preferences. Otherwise, clear Retain filter criteria and the last filter criteria is not retained.

5. Click Apply to apply your selections or click Reset to return to the default values. The default is not to enable (not have a check mark beside) Retain filter criteria.

Results

Other pages have similar fields and radio buttons that we can use to specify console preferences. While Preferences fields, Scope fields, and Filter buttons control how much data is shown in the console, the Preferences option controls general behavior of the console. Click System Administration > Console preferences to view the Preferences page.

Subtopics

• Console preferences settings
  Use the Console Preferences page to specify how we want features of the console workspace to behave.

• Bidirectional support options
  Use the Bidirectional support options page to specify bidirectional (Bidi) text preferences for the console.

• Administrative console preference settings
  Use the preference settings to specify how we want information to display on an console panel. The preference settings vary from one console panel to another.

• Administrative console scope settings
  Use this page to specify the level at which a resource is visible on the console page. By changing the value for Scope, you see only the resources defined at that scope. The contents of the collection table might change. A resource can be visible in the console collection table at the cell, node, or server scope. For multiple-server products, a resource also can be visible at the cluster scope.
