  • To more clearly see a node and its children, click a node to move adjacent nodes aside. Click any node to reset the node’s position.
  • To collapse all of a node’s child nodes, click the collapse box (-) on the node. To expand all of a node’s child nodes, click the expand box (+).
  • To locate a node in the topology chart, type a full or partial string in the Find box and click the Find button. You can locate the next occurrence of a node with that string by clicking the Find button again.

  • To display the topology in a linear left-to-right arrangement, select the Linear check box. You can return to a radial layout by clearing the check box.
  • To center the root node, click the Reset GUID-1B6C580B-8C8A-43DA-AE22-FF13EEDFE3B1-low.jpgbutton, reset the zoom to 100%, and reset the rotation to 0˚ on the topology.
  • To isolate a node and make it the new root, right-click a parent node (a node with child nodes) and select Make root. All other nodes disappear, and the requested node's child nodes fan out around it.
  • To realign all nodes and expand all child nodes, right-click any node and select Restore all nodes.
  • To display the context-sensitive menu for the node, right-click the node.
  • To show a node’s tooltip, hover your cursor over the node. By default, the tooltip displays information from a node’s parents.
