Specifying console preferences

Why and when to perform this task

Throughout the administrative console are pages that have Preferences, Filter, and Scope fields near the top of the pages. To customize how much data is shown, select options in Preferences, Filter and Scope.

For example, examine the Preferences field for the Enterprise Applications page:

Steps for this task

  1. Go to the navigation tree of the administrative console and select Applications > Enterprise Applications.
  2. Expand Preferences.
  3. For the Maximum rows field, specify the maxiumum number of rows to be displayed when the collection is large. The default is 25. Rows that exceed the maximum number will appear on subsequent pages.
  4. For the Filter history field, place a checkmark beside Retain filter criteria if you want the last filter criteria entered in the filter function to be retained. When you return to the Applications page, the page will initially use the retained filter criteria to display the collection of applications in the table below. Otherwise, remove the checkmark beside Retain filter criteria to not retain the last filter criteria.
  5. Click Apply to apply your selections or click Reset to return to the default values.
    The default is not to enable (not have a checkmark beside) Retain filter criteria.

Results

Other pages have similar fields in which you specify console preferences. While Preferences, Filter and Scope control how much data is shown in the console, the Preferences taskbar option controls general behavior of the console. Click Preferences on the console taskbar to view the Preferences page. Additionally, you can select whether information on console pages and fields within console pages is shown using the Hide Field and Page Descriptions toggle. Icons on the right-hand side of the taskbar provide the toggle.
