The Profiles, Users, and Networks maintenance panels share a similar interface for adding, changing, and deleting records.
A list to the right of the Task Pane shows all records that exist for the selected menu option. The list has the appropriate name and you can be resize it horizontally. Resizing of the list is not persisted and the screen reverts to the default size the next session. The current record highlights with a solid blue band. This list displays the description in alphabetical ascending order.
The Search filter at the top right of the toolbar applies to the entries in the list. The list shrinks and grows as you change search criteria. The current record always displays, regardless if it matches the search filter or not.
You edit new or existing entries on the right side of this page (sandbox). Manipulation of data in the sandbox directly controls other parts, such as buttons on the header as well as the Task Pane. As soon as changes are made, the appropriate buttons are enabled or disabled. Every keystroke edit, mouse edit, or pasting constitute a change. If you make any changes since the last save, the record is considered “dirty”. You must save a dirty record before navigating away.
You can Delete records at any time. Select the check boxes next to the names to delete multiple records. Once you delete, there is no way to restore them other than manually re-entering them.
These buttons are context sensitive and disable and enable as the context changes. If an option has no significance or is out of context, it is not available. Buttons include:
New record. This is not enabled if there is a record in the middle of a change. When selected, it displays a panel of all the fields appropriate for the record you are creating.These fields will be blank unless there is a default. There will not be a current record while in “new record” mode, so there is no a blue band in the list of records. Once you save the record, it becomes the current record display the blue band.
Deletes the record(s) you select. Select the records check box next to the item you require. You can only delete records you select. If you do not select any records, the Delete button is not enabled.
If user preferences state that confirmations are required, then a confirmation dialog displays before the delete takes place. You can cancel or confirm the delete.
Once deleted, the record drops off the list and the first record in the list becomes the current record. If there are no records, there is no current record and only the New button is available.
This saves any changes made to a new or existing record. The Save button is active only if you have made changes. If the application deems that nothing has changed, this button is not available.
If there are any validations to perform, they occur. If errors are found, they display and you need to correct before continuing. No persistence takes place until you satisfy all validations.
Undo any changes to this record since the last update (Save). Use this when you want to Cancel and revert the field’s values to their last saved state and not save your changes. A confirmation dialog displays stating that you will lose any changes.
Should any changes made require that a reboot take place, a reboot button displays in the Task Pane. When these changes are made, the application automatically prompts to reboot the CX23-R. You can continue or choose to cancel and reboot manually. Note that there must be no other pending changes when a reboot is requested. If so, there will be a confirmation stating this.
