Listing Property Groups and Properties

When NerveCenter is first installed and the NerveCenter database is created, many property groups are loaded into the database. Before you begin creating new property groups, you should review these existing property groups and see if one of them meets your needs. Or perhaps you can create the property group you need by modifying an existing property group.

The following sections explain how to display a list of property groups and how to display a list of the properties in a property group:

• Listing Property Groups
• Listing Properties

Listing Property Groups

 
  To display a list of the property groups currently defined in the database for the active server:

  

From the client's Admin menu, choose Property Group List.

This action causes NerveCenter to display the Property Group List window.



The existing property groups are listed in alphabetical order in the Property Group list on the left side of the window.

Listing Properties

You generally only display properties in the context of a property group. That is, you don't view all the properties defined in the database in a single list; you view a list of properties that belong to the same property group.

 
  To list the properties in a property group:

1. From the client's Admin menu, choose Property Group List.

   NerveCenter displays the Property Group List window.

   

2. Select a property group from the Property Group list.

   All of the properties belonging to that property group are listed in alphabetical order in the Property list on the right side of the window.
