Table View refers to the display panel that you can view on the right side of the Application Client. For instance, clicking on Alarms node under Fault Management node displays a panel on the right side that shows a table containing details of the generated alarms. Similarly, clicking any of the nodes under Network Database displays a table with the database information.
The following image depicts a Network Events Table View:-
The table views are available only in Fault Management, Network Database, and Configured Collection modules and they differ from module to module.
This section explains:-
This section explains the ways in which you can navigate through the table.
The four navigator buttons, First Page
, Previous Page
, Next Page 
, and Last Page
are located at the top of each table. The purpose of
these buttons is detailed in the following table.
|
Button |
Purpose |
|---|---|
|
First Page |

|
Previous Page |
To view the previously viewed page of the window that displays the data retrieved from the database. |
|
Next Page |
To view the next page of the window frame that displays the data retrieved from the database. |
|
Last Page |
To view the last page of the window that displays the data retrieved from the database. |
Setting the Page Length for a Table
To display only a certain number of rows per page, select the value from the Page Length drop-down box.
To refresh the page view, perform any of the following procedures.
Right-click a row and click Refresh.
From View menu, choose Refresh.
Press F5.
Viewing a Range of Table Details
To view a range of details
Enter the starting range number in the Displaying field.
Enter the ending range number in the to field.
Press Enter.

Note : By default, the range text fields Total, Displaying, and To in Network Database, Alerts, Network Events, Configured Collection, Audit and Audit Trails Panels are non-editable fields. This can be made editable by overwriting setProperties(prop) method in a respective class such as AlertApplet. NsmListview ext. and provide extended class entry in <Web NMS Home>/conf/NmsPanel.conf file. For information on the implementation, please refer to the Developer Guide. |
You can sort the data in a table based on the column type and the details can be viewed either in ascending or descending order. The type of sorting (ascending or descending) is indicated by arrows.
A simple click on the column header does the sorting, i.e., the complete data will be sorted. Subsequent click on the same header sorts the data in ascending order (if it were sorted in descending before).
There are two types of sorting.
Server-side
sorting: Server-side sorting sorts all data in the Web NMS Server
and is not restricted to the data available in the Application Client.
For example, if there are 100 events in the Web NMS Server and only 50
are displayed in the Page View of the table, a server-side sorting sorts
the complete set of 100 events and not just the 50 events. For server-side
sorting, click the column header. Subsequent click on the same column
header sorts the data in ascending order (if it were sorted in descending
before). The sort indicators for server-side sorting for ascending and
descending are 
and 
, respectively.
Client-side
sorting: Client-side sorting sorts data displayed only in the Application
Client. For example, if there are 50 alarms in the Web NMS Server and
only 25 are displayed in the Page View of the table (25 per page), a client-side
sorting sorts only 25 alarms and not the 50 alarms in the Web NMS Server.
For client-side sorting, press the Ctrl
button and click the column header. Subsequent click on the same header
sorts the data in ascending order (if it were sorted in descending before).
The sort indicator for client-side sorting for ascending and descending
are 
and 
, respectively.
Rearranging and Resizing Columns in a Table
For easy view of the data, rearrange the columns by just dragging the column header and moving it to the required place in the table. This will be helpful to view a couple of data at closer position.
To resize the column header, simply drag the right-side edge of a column.
Tip: On performing the rearrangement and resizing, the table remains the same only until the Application Client is open. When reopened, the settings would be lost. Hence to retain the same size of columns, save the style by choosing Custom Views > Save Custom View State menu or right-click on the node in tree and choose Custom Views > Save Custom View State or press Ctrl+S. It has to be noted that on saving the custom view the resizing will only be saved and the rearrangement will not get saved, and the custom view will be displayed in the default order.
To view details or object properties of each row in a table, perform any of the following procedures.
Double-click a row.
Right-click a row and click Details.
Press Alt+D.
A dialog box is displayed with specific details about the selected row. This feature has been explained in detail in each of the modules, such as Monitoring Fault in Networks, Monitoring Network Performance, and Traversing Network Database.
In the Event and Alert Panel, in the top of the Display Panel, it provides the information such as navigator buttons, Page Length , Range of Table. This part of the screen can be minimized by clicking on the small arrow button in the left top corner of the display Panel.
