About drilling down to more information on the selected object
On the Management Server console, double-clicking provides a fast way to navigate from an object record on a table in the content pane to its node in the navigation tree.
This action works only if the type of object that is double-clicked is an object type that appears in the tree. If so, double-clicking the record on the content pane selects the corresponding object in the tree. Otherwise, nothing occurs with the double-click.
For example, if you display the list of hosts for the data center in the content pane, you can filter to a specific host and then double-click the host to go to its node in the tree. However, if you display the list of disks for a host in the content pane and double-click on a record, nothing occurs, since disks do not appear in the tree.
If you double-click on an object that is in the tree but on a different perspective, the console asks you to confirm navigating to the different perspective. The console then opens a browser tab for the new perspective, with the object node selected in the tree.
For example, if you double-click an enclosure for a host on the Server perspective, the action navigates you to the Storage perspective (assuming that you have permission to view that perspective).
In some cases, a tab in the content pane displays subtabs at the bottom. In such a case, selecting a record with a single-click displays more information about that object in the subtabs.
The Faults and Risks chart in the data center Overview tab for each perspective also lets you drill down to the faulted or at risk objects in the tree. This navigation requires two steps. You first double-click the object type on the chart. The table of faulted and at risk objects of that type is displayed. If the object is of a type that is shown in the tree, you can then double-click the record in the table, which navigates you to the corresponding object in the tree.
