VMmanager Advanced User Guide

User interface

Information about the virtual machines (VM) and other objects of the platform is presented in the form of tables. The tables contain brief information about the objectes. You can view detailed information and make changes to the settings in the object card.

View setup

Platform tables have two types of view — full and compact. To select the view and columns displayed in the table, press .

Example of setup

Number of displayed objects

In the table header you can select the number of lines to be displayed on one page.

If the required value is not in the list, you can specify it via the page parameter in the page URL. For example, the URL of the page with the list of VMs is as follows: 

https://vm6.example.com/vm/manager/host/list?filter=~&sort=~&page=1:25;

This means that 25 lines are displayed on one page. If you change the URL to 

https://vm6.example.com/vm/manager/host/list?filter=~&sort=~&page=1:500;

500 lines will be displayed on the page.

Sorting and filters

To sort the information in the table by column, click on the header of that column. If the column contains more than one parameter, the platform will offer the choice of the parameter to sort by. For example, the IP address column allows you to sort VMs by their IP addresses or domains. 

Example of sorting

You can customize the display of information in the tables according to a given filter. To enter the filter conditions, press in the header of the column with the required parameter. Read more in Using filters.
