All columns except the Virtual Machine column can be hidden. Connection paths will pass
through the hidden column. To control which columns are displayed, right-click a column
heading and select the Show/Hide Columns option.

Right-click on a component to initiate an action. For example, right-click on a datastore to
expand or delete it.

The graphic can be exported to a PDF file for printing using the Export All option on the
pull-down menu located in the lower-right corner of the screen.

Use the Filter tool (

Enter the data you want to filter on. For example, if you want to see only unmanaged disks,
filter on the word unmanaged.
