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

Use the Filter tool ( ) in the upper-right corner of the page to limit the information displayed.
Enter the data you want to filter on. For example, if you want to see only unmanaged disks,
filter on the word unmanaged.
