Inline lists
Inline lists do not appear on the Lists tab, they appear “inline” on the settings pane as a part of the
settings for a configuration item. Their handling does not differ much from that of normal lists. This
section gives an example of an inline list and shows you how to work with it.
Sample inline list
The sample inline list described here is the Port Forwarding Rules list. It contains rules for directing web
traffic from one host to another. The list appears after clicking Port Forwarding on the Appliances tab
of the Configuration top-level menu.
On a toolbar, items are provided for working with the list. Other inline lists provide the same items
(some do not provide all of them). The subject matter involved when working with these items varies,
but the way of handling them is the same for all inline lists.
Work with a sample inline list
Complete the following procedure to work with a sample inline list:
1 Go to Configuration | Appliances.
2 On the appliances tree, go to the appliance you want to configure settings for and select, for example,
Port Forwarding, which is an item with settings that include an inline list. The sample inline list
appears on the settings pane.
3 Use the items on the toolbar to work with the sample inline list.
Table 4-10 Items on the toolbar above the sample inline list (Port Forwarding Rules)
Option Definition
Add Opens a window for adding a list entry
Edit Opens a window for editing a selected list entry
Delete Deletes a selected list entry. A window opens to let you confirm the deletion

Filter Input field for typing a filtering term to display only matching list entries
Note: The filtering functions works as soon as you type a character in the field.
When adding or editing the rules in an inline list, you need to know the meanings of the elements
that a list entry can have. For the sample inline list, they are described in the following table.
Note: You also find this description in the section on port forwarding in the System Configuration chapter
of this guide.
