1-6 User Guide
Quick Start
User Interface
The user interface displays the information you need about your network
devices, device accounts, and host computers where the device drivers are
installed.
The screen is divided into two panes. In the navigation pane, you can select
which view appears in the list of the other pane. Each view displays data in a
specified organization of columns and rows (list), or on a layout (map).
The application offers two types of views: custom views that are listed under My
Views, and standard Default Views defined by the application to monitor your
environment.
Main Menu
The main menu is located at the top of the window. Basic operations that affect
the application are in this menu.
My Views
My Views are lists or maps you can create from Default Views or other My
Views. You can customize the type of information you want to see. My Views
are organized in a tree structure that displays folders and My Views nodes.
When you select a custom view under My Views, the application displays the
view (list or map) in the other pane. You can create folders to organize and
manage My Views. You can also add information to My Views by going to the
View menu and clicking Add dynamic view or Add manual view using
selection.
Default Views
Default Views are standard list or map views.
When you select a particular default view, the application displays the view (list
or map) in the other pane. Some Device view options are only available from list
views and not map views.
In Default Views, six standard Device views, two standard Account views, and
three Host views are available. They cannot be removed.
Toolbar
Each view displays a toolbar below the main menu. The toolbar contains icons
for the most common tasks for each view, including managing and editing
devices, accounts, and hosts. You can move your mouse cursor over each icon
to view its corresponding task.
List View
A list of devices, accounts, or hosts display on the window depending on the
selected view. This customizable list provides information that you can
organize. You can expand each row in any Device list view to display more
information. A Map view is also available and displays your devices on a custom
map background.
Identifying Status Icons
In the device or host list view, status icons provide quick information about the
condition of each device. Click the triangle icon to expand the row and see a
description of the condition.
KYOCERA Net Viewer 5.3 1-7
Quick Start
Customizing List Views
You can arrange the information in a device, account, or host list view saved
under My Views. You can update changes to My Views by clicking Update
view in the toolbar. Changes made to Default Views are not saved after you
leave the view.
Showing or Hiding Columns
Right-click on a column heading to open the selection list of columns. Click on a
column name from the list to add to the view. To remove a column from the list
view, click any column heading to open the selection list of columns. Click on a
column name that has a check mark next to it to remove it.
Changing the Width of a Column
To adjust the width of a column, position the cursor over the column divider until
you see the double-headed arrow. Click and drag the arrow for the desired
column size.
Changing the Position of a Column
To move a column to another position in the list view, click on the desired
column heading, then drag it to the desired location.
Sorting Rows in List View
You can sort the information in a list view. Click the column heading to change
the sort order of the rows in the view, using the data in that column as the sort
criteria. An upward triangle indicates rows sorted in ascending order; a
downward triangle indicates rows sorted in descending order.
Expanding a Row in a Device List View
You can expand a row in a Device list view to display more information about a
device. Click the triangle icon to display a 3D image of the device and all
installed options. Other information about the device is displayed, including
model, status, IP address, and print speed.
To collapse the row, click the triangle icon again.
Closing the Application Window
You can close the application window so that it is no longer visible on the
screen, but the application continues to run in the system tray. This is useful if
you want to reduce the number of open windows on your desktop, or if you are
running a task that does not need visual monitoring. To close the application
window, go to the File menu, and then click Close window. To reopen the
application window, double-click the icon in the system tray; or right-click the
icon, and click Restore.
To exit the application, go to the File menu, and click Exit. The application
saves the currently displayed workspace before exiting. This saved workspace
appears the next time the same user opens the application.
