User interface tips and techniques

Consider these tips and techniques when using the Lenovo XClarity Administrator user interface

Viewing more or less data per page

You can change the number of rows that are displayed per page using the links on the bottom right of the table. You can display 10, 25, 50, or All rows

Finding data in large lists

Most fields can accept up to 128 characters.

There are several ways to display a subset of a large list based on specific criteria.

  • You can sort the table rows by clicking the column header.

    Tip
    Changing the sort order of a table column is persistent across the user sessions.
  • You can use the Filter By icons and Show drop-down list that is available on some pages to display a subset of data based on the selected criteria.

  • You can further refine the subset by entering text (such as a name or IP address) in the Search field to find data that is found in any available column.

    You can choose from the past 10 searches by selecting the searches from the drop-down menu on the Filters field. The last active search on a page is persistent across user sessions.

Viewing column data

If the column size prevents all information from displaying in the table cell (indicated by an ellipsis), you can view the complete information in a popup by hovering over text in the cell.

Configure table columns

You can configure tables to show information that is important to you.

  • You can choose which columns to show or hide by clicking All Actions > Toggle Columns.

  • You can reorder columns by dragging the column headers to the preferred location.

Changing the language of the user interface

You have an option to set the language of the user interface when you first log in.

After you are logged in, you can change the language of the user interface by clicking the user-actions menu(Resources icon), and then clicking Change language. Select the language that you want to display.

Note
The help system displays in the same language that is set for the user interface

Getting help

XClarity Orchestrator offers several ways to get help with the user interface.
  • Some pages provide additional details about a specific field or status using Help icons (Help icon). Hover the cursor over the icon to display a pop-up with helpful information.

  • To get help about how to perform specific actions from the user interface, click the user-actions menu (Resources icon) and then click Help.
