Adding a child item

Use Create Child Item in the Navigator editor to add a Navigator item within the selected branch of the custom Navigator view.

1. If the Navigator editor is not open, click Edit Navigator View in the Navigator toolbar.
2. If the Navigator view that you want to work with is not displayed, select it from the Target View list.
3. Select the parent item in the target view.
   The item has a border around it when it is selected.
4. Click Create Child Item.
5. In the Create New Navigator Item window, type a name and description for the item.
   The name is displayed in the Navigator view; the description is displayed only in this window.
6. Make static or dynamic managed system assignments: Select the managed systems or managed system groups whose situations you want to associate with the Navigator item, and click to move them to the Assigned list.
   Queries for workspace views are applied to the assigned managed systems by default. Alert indicators are displayed for events that are opened for situations associated with the Navigator item.
   • For assignments to this Navigator item, click the Monitored resources tab, select the managed systems or managed system groups whose situations you want to associate with the Navigator item, and move them to the Assigned list.
   • For dynamic child assignments to this Navigator item, click the Dynamic items tab, select the managed system groups to assign to the Navigator item, and move them to the Assigned Members list. Click Options to change how branch dynamic items are displayed (described in Assigned member options).
   • If you are assigning managed system groups to the Navigator item, you can click Edit Managed System Groups to open the Object Group editor: select a managed system group to see and edit the membership; select a managed system type (select All Managed Systems if you want to assign managed systems from different managed system types) and click Create New Group or Create Another Group to add a new managed system group (see Creating a managed system group).
   A best practice is to assign managed systems to a Navigator item from the Monitored resources tab or Dynamic items, but not both.
7. Click OK.
