Certain processes are performed in a similar way in each of the operations screens. These include:

Selecting items from a list
Searching for particular items in a list
Sorting a list

Selecting Entries in Lists

To select one or more entries in a list, follow one of these steps:

To select a single entry, left-click anywhere within the entry row.
To select contiguous entries, click and drag, or click the first entry and Shift+left+click the last entry. All lines between the first and last entry are selected.
To select noncontiguous entries, click the first entry and Ctrl+left+click each additional entry.

Additionally, the System Manager, Host Manager, and Network Node screens have Edit > Select menu items that enable you to select all entries in a list or all those entries with a given tag.

Some lists in the Schedule Manager screen allow only one entry to be selected at a time.

Searching Entries

On the System Manager, Host Manager, and Network Node screens, you can use the Search > Find menu item to find a particular entry in a large list. A dialog box opens in which you enter a search string. To repeat the same search, use Search >Find Next .

Sorting Entries

On lists with column titles, click on the column title to sort the list by that column, toggling between ascending and descending orders. Alternately, select a sort method from the Sort menu; this alternative enables you to sort by columns that are not displayed.
