About network view bookmarks

Network view bookmarks group together selected network views.

Each network view bookmark contains selected network views in a tree structure that is inherited from the network view libraries. If you add a parent network view to a bookmark, you automatically also get all the children networks views in the bookmark. If you want only certain child network views you can do this by adding just those child network views to the bookmark.

For example, a NOC administrator is creating a network view bookmark to assign to his NOC. The parent network view Subnet contains six subnet network views, A through F. The administrator adds subnets A, B, and C to the bookmark, but does not add subnets D, E, and F, because his NOC is not responsible for monitoring subnets D through F.

Note: In this example, the system automatically adds the parent network view Subnets to the bookmark. The Bookmarks treetable displays system-added views, such as the Subnets view in this example, with an asterisk to the left of the network view name. Manually added views, such as views A, B, and C in this example, are displayed without an asterisk to the left of the view name.

Read-write and read-only permissions for bookmarks can be set on individual user and on a group basis. By default this can be done by an administrator. Permissions for a bookmark can also be set globally; global permission apply to everyone else, that is, all users who have neither individual user permissions for the bookmark, nor are members of any of the groups that have group permissions for the bookmark. In addition, individual operators can create their own bookmarks.

The maximum alert status of all entities in a network view is reported in the network view bookmark tree for all bookmarks.
