iManager Tree View

The Tree view lets you browse a directory tree with a look and feel similar to ConsoleOne. The Tree view uses both the Navigation frame and the Content frame to provide its functionality.

The Navigation frame displays the directory structure in the familiar ConsoleOne format. The Navigation frame displays Container objects, including Volume (file system) objects. Click on the plus and minus icons to expand and collapse the container objects and browse the directory tree. By default, the Navigation frame displays up to 100 subordinate objects per container, but you can change this setting in Preferences > Object View > Navigation Pane (Left Side).

Select a container object in the Navigation frame to display the subordinate objects in that container in the Content frame. The Content frame is where you actually manipulate directory objects, and includes a header from which you can select from among several actions:

Bread Crumbs: At the top of the Content frame, the bread crumb feature that lets you navigate along the containers in the current context.

Title Bar: Displays the name of the currently selected container object. Click the Pencil icon to edit the properties of this container.

Object List Header: The object list header provides access to the following:

Object List: The Content frame’s object list displays all objects in the container currently selected in the Navigation frame. By default, the Content frame displays up to 100 subordinate objects per container, but you can change this setting in Preferences > Object View > Tree Content Pane (Right Side).

To perform an action on an object, select its check box, then select the action from the Object List header. Select the (current level) object to perform an action on the container in which you are currently browsing.

Select the double-period object to navigate up one level to the parent container.

Important: The Tree view does not support selecting objects across multiple pages in the object list. If you need to do this, use the Object View’s Browse tab to perform the multiple-object action.
