Working with UserTracking Tables

Working with UserTracking Tables

This chapter describes how the UserTracking application displays information, and how you can modify this information. This chapter describes the following procedures:

Sorting the Table Rows

You can arrange the information in the table according to a specific viewing order by sorting the table rows.

Step 1 Position the cursor over the column header for the field on which you want to sort.

The cursor changes to a cross.

Step 2 Click in the column header.

The table is redisplayed with the rows sorted in ascending order.

Step 3 To resort the table in descending order, click again on the same column heading.

Resizing Columns

You can resize the columns for better readability.

Step 1 Position the cursor over the right edge of a column.

The cursor changes to a double arrow.

Step 2 Drag the border with the double arrow to the desired column width.

Replicating Cells

You can replicate a single cell in a single column into one or more contiguous cells above or below the original cell. You might use this to replicate the VTP Domain name or VLAN name into one or more cells.

Step 1 Move the cursor over the column that contains the cell you want to replicate.

Step 2 Click in the cell you want to replicate.

Step 3 Left-click the mouse and drag over the cells.

Step 4 Select Edit>Replicate.

Making Changes to the Table Entries

The UserTracking application allows you to modify, add, and delete entries from the tables.

Modifying an Entry

You can only modify specific cells in the table. Follow these guidelines:

To modify an entry, follow these steps:

Step 1 Click in the cell you want to modify.

Step 2 Enter the new value.

A popup list of available options is displayed when you click in the VLAN and VTP domain cells. After you change the value in a cell, the value is displayed in boldface type. If you modify a MAC address, the UserTracking application verifies that the syntax is correct.

Step 3 Click Save or select Action>Save to save your changes to the CWSI Campus database.

The CWSI Campus database is updated with all changes, but the port state is not updated on the switch. To update the port state on the switch, select Action>Update Port States. If you modify only the Notes or User Name fields, UserTracking modifies only those fields in the already existing network entry, but does not create an operator entry.

Adding an Entry

Before making a new table entry, you need to know the MAC address, VLAN name, and VTP domain for the device you want to map.

Step 1 Position the cursor in the row below where you want to insert a new row in the screen display table.

Step 2 Select Edit>New Row.

A blank row is inserted into the table above the insertion point.

Step 3 Enter the MAC address for the device you are mapping.

After you enter a value and press Tab or Enter, or you click another cell, the UserTracking application checks the syntax of your entry.

Step 4 Click the VTP Domain cell and select from the popup list the VTP domain for this device.

The MAC address, VLAN name, and VTP domain are the minimum items required for a new table entry. The UserTracking application will not allow an entry in which any of these values is missing.

You can also enter any notes and a user name of your choice. You cannot specify values for any other fields. For a description of the fields and their formats, see Table 2-1.

Step 5 Click the VLAN cell and select from the popup list the VLAN to which you are assigning this device.

Step 6 Click Save or select Action>Save to save the new entry to the CWSI Campus database.

Deleting an Entry

The UserTracking application allows you to delete entries. When you delete an entry it is removed from the table and from the CWSI Campus database. You can delete a single entry or several at a time.

Step 1 Select the row you want to delete by clicking the tab at the far left of the row.

To select additional contiguous rows, hold down the Shift key and click, or drag the cursor over the tabs on the rows you want to select.

Step 2 Select Edit>Delete Rows.

The selected rows are removed from the table and the CWSI Campus database.

Customizing Tables

When you do a query using the default screen layout, the UserTracking application displays all the fields for each record matching your query. You can display subsets of this information or rearrange the order of the columns by creating your own customized layout.

Creating a Custom Layout

You can create and save a custom table layout that displays the information you are interested in with the columns in the order you specify.

Step 1 In the Screen Layout box of the UserTracking main window, select the layout that most closely resembles what you want to design. This layout will be the basis for your customized layout.

Step 2 Click Customize.

The Customize Layout window opens (Figure 4-1).

Step 3 Click New Layout and enter a name for the new screen layout.

Step 4 Select a column to work with by clicking a column name at the top of the window.

Step 5 Click Move Left to move the selected column left by one column; click Move Right to move the column right; click Delete to delete the column from the display.

Step 6 To insert a column for a field not currently displayed, select the column name from the popup list and click Add.

The new column is inserted to the left of the currently selected column.

Step 7 To preview your new layout, click Apply.

The screen display table is redisplayed with the new layout. When you click Apply, the layout name also appears in the popup list in the Screen Layouts box in the UserTracking main window and is saved for future use.

Step 8 Click Close to close the window.

Using a Custom Layout

To use a layout that you have customized and saved:

The data in the table is formatted using the selected layout.

Saving Tables to a Text File

The UserTracking application allows you to save the current table to a tab-delimited text file. This feature will allow you to print the table.

Step 1 Select File>Export Table from the UserTracking main window.

The Save As window opens.

Step 2 Navigate to the directory where you want to save the file.

Step 3 Enter a filename.

Step 4 Click Save.
