Customizing the AVWorks Explorer Window

The AVWorks Explorer window can be resized at any time. Each time you

launch the application, the AVWorks Explorer window opens to its default size

and location.

A split-pane divider that runs from top to bottom separates the Group Selector

pane and the Unit Selector pane. You can move the divider left and right to

change the viewing area of the Group Selector pane and the Unit Selector

pane. Each time AVWorks Explorer is started, the divider will appear in its

default location. See Appendix B for divider pane and tree view control mouse

and keyboard shortcuts.

Modifying the selected view on startup

When Default is checked under the selected view on the startup option, the

AVWorks Explorer will determine which view to display. If you have one or

more servers defined, the Devices display will appear by default. If you do not,

the Appliances display will appear.

When Default is unchecked, the AVWorks Explorer will display the view

selected in the pulldown menu shown below the checkbox. The pulldown

menu contains the following values: Appliances, Devices, Sites and Folders.

The pulldown menu is only enabled when the checkbox is unchecked.

To modify the selected view on startup:

1.

Select Tools - Options from the AVWorks Explorer menu. The Options
dialog box appears.

2. Select

Appliances, Devices, Sites or Folders from the pulldown menu.

3. Click

OK to save the new startup view.

Click Cancel to exit without saving changes.

Changing the default browser

browser window. You have the option of using the default browser for your

system, or you can select a specific browser to launch for that server.

To change the default browser:

1.

Select Tools - Options from AVWorks Explorer. The Options dialog box appears.

2.

Deselect the Launch Default Browser checkbox. The Browse button is enabled.

Click the Browse button and navigate to the browser.
