You can choose whether to display views of your resources as topology or details views. Details views display resources and their statuses and flags in a list format. You can sort the list according to various criteria.
Details views contain additional information about resources, such as type and description. Flags are always displayed in details views.
Using details views gives you a lot of flexibility in how you display resources. For example, you can specify that you want resources sorted in order of the most recent status change, using the Sort Fields page of the Console Properties notebook.
You can use the Display Fields page of the Console Properties notebook to indicate what information you want to display in details views.
