Working with tables

This topic describes general procedures for viewing tabular information in IBM Director Console.

In IBM Director Console, information is often displayed in tables. You can customize the display of data in many of these tables in several ways.
Note: Not all of these actions may be available for all tabular views. These actions must be performed with a mouse or other pointing device, and are not available through the keyboard.
Sort table data on a column
Click a column header to sort the data in the table by the values in that column. Click the header again to change the sort order.
  • An upward-pointing triangle symbol indicates the column is sorted in ascending order
  • A downward-pointing triangle symbol indicates the column is sorted in descending order
  • Some columns may have additional sort options that are displayed as parenthetical text in the column header
Resize table columns
Drag the border of a table column heading to resize it.
Rearrange table columns
Drag a table column heading left or right to a new column location to rearrange table columns.

In addition, the details view of the Group contents pane in the main IBM Director Console window may be customized by selecting what columns are displayed. Right-click a column heading and select Customize columns. The Console Preferences window opens to the Details View Preferences page. Select the columns you wish to view, then click OK.
