Admin Console conventions
• Sidewinder G2 State—This is a read-only field that displays the current
Sidewinder G2 state (whether it is a standalone, part of an HA or One-To-
Many cluster, or part of an enterprise managed environment).
• Connect—Establishes a connection with the selected Sidewinder G2.
When using the Admin Console, the following conventions and tips will help
you avoid common mistakes:
• To filter a table based on the contents of a single column, right-click a
column heading and select the filter criteria for which you want to filter. (To
customize a filter, select the Custom Filter option.) To view all items in a
table, select the No Filter option.
You can also reverse the order of the table within a column by clicking the
appropriate column heading. To return the table to its original order, click
the column heading a second time.
– Right–click a column heading and use the Filter By option to filter on a
particular item or create a custom filter.
– Click the appropriate column heading to sort rules by a particular field
(column). Click the heading a second time to sort the list in reverse
order. You can select an item to modify from a list by double clicking on
it or by clicking on it once to highlight it, and then clicking Modify.
• When a box preceding an option is filled in or contains a check mark, it is
enabled or selected. When the box is empty (a check mark does not
appear), the option is disabled.
• On some windows, you need to use the scroll bar to view all of the
information or options.
• In the Rules window, you can reposition rules and groups by clicking and
dragging an entry to a new location.
• To delete an item from a list or table in an Admin Console window, click the
item to select it, and then click Delete.
• When you leave a window that you have modified, you will automatically be
prompted to save your changes before you exit the window. You can also
save your modifications at any time by clicking the Save icon in the toolbar
(or an OK button for some pop-up windows).
• When you exit a window and do not want to save your changes, click No
when prompted to save your changes. You can also cancel your changes at
any time by clicking the Rollback icon (or the Cancel button in some
windows) to restore the current window’s settings to the last saved version.
• For assistance on any of the Admin Console windows, click the Help icon
located in the top portion of the window. The online help provides
information about each of the Admin Console windows. To view the entire
list of available help topics, click the TOC button from within the help
system.
