As the system administrator, you need to create an area view structure that is easy for
everyone to understand and navigate.
What you should know
You can re-organize the entities in the area view by dragging them to another area,
selecting multiple entities at once and drag them to another area, renaming entities, and
copying entities. You can also create and delete entities.
NOTE: You cannot edit
the names of federated entities.
The way you structure the area view in Config
Tool is also how it is displayed in Security
Desk.
To organize the area view:
-
From the Config
Tool home page, open the Area
view task.
NOTE: The area view task in Config
Tool is the only place where you can
change the area view structure. Do not confuse this administrative task with the area
view tab found in most investigation tasks available in Security Desk.
-
To move entities under another area, do one of the following:
- Select an area or entity, and then drag it to a different area.
- Hold the Shift key, select multiple entities, and then drag
them to a different area.
The selected entities are now a child entities of that area (below that area in the
hierarchy).
-
To rename an entity, select the entity, press F2, type a new
name, and press ENTER.
TIP: You can rename any entity from the area view of any task as long as you
have the administrative privilege to modify that entity.
-
To copy an entity into another area, hold the Ctrl key, and then
drag the entity into that area.
A copy of the entity is created under the area. If you copied an area under another
area, all its child entities (entities below that area) are also copied.
-
If necessary, create new areas for grouping
entities.
-
If necessary, delete entities.
