Setting up and using the Tile view

Use the Tile view in the Operations Console to display a dashboard summary of event activity for event collectors, groups, services, and devices.

By default, tiles are created for each node that your administrator or you create in Global or My Folders in the navigation tree. You can select the attributes that you want to display in each tile or use the default attributes.

When you access the Tile view, the page is in view mode and tiles are displayed for the object that you select in the navigation tree. To edit the objects in the Tile view, you must first change to edit mode, change tile preferences and metrics, and then after you have made your changes, return to view mode to monitor the object status.

To switch to edit mode

Click the Preferences button in the toolbar.

The view is changed to edit mode, and the Tile view Preferences dialog box is displayed in the Tile view pane.

Where to go from here

For more information about setting up the Tile view, see Using edit mode to change preferences in the Tile view.

For more information about using the Tile view to monitor objects, see Using view mode to monitor objects in the Tile view.

If you are logged on to the BMC ProactiveNet Operations Console with a user account that has Administrator privileges, you can optionally save the changes that you make to the Tile view preferences as default values that can be applied either to all Tiles that do not have customized settings, or to all tiles for all users regardless of customized settings. For more information, see Saving tile preferences as defaults.
