3.2  View Settings

Many sections of the Administration Console are in table form where each line represents one record (e.g. detailed information about user, information about interface, etc.) and the columns consist of individual entries for these records (e.g. name of server, MAC address, IP address, etc.).

WinRoute administrators can define — according to their liking — the way how the information in individual sections will be displayed. When you right-click each of the above sections, a pop-up menu with Modify columns option is displayed. This entry opens a dialog window where users can select which columns will be displayed/hidden.

This dialog offers a list of all columns available for a corresponding view. Use checking boxes on the left to enable/disable displaying of a corresponding column. You can also click the Show all button to display all columns. Clicking on the Default button will restore default settings (for better reference, only columns providing the most important information are displayed by default).

The arrow buttons move the selected column up and down within the list. This allows the administrator to define the order the columns will be displayed.

The order of the columns can also be adjusted in the window view. Left-click on the column name, hold down the mouse button and move the column to the desired location.

Note: The width of individual columns can be adjusted by moving the dividing line between the column headers.
