Deleting a Navigator view or item

Use the Navigator editor to delete a Navigator view or any of its Navigator items.

Before you begin

Be careful when deleting Navigator items. A shared icon is displayed over the source and target Navigator item icons to indicate a relationship with another item. This indicator serves as a reminder of the dependency so that you do not unintentionally change or delete an item from one Navigator view that might affect another view. To see the Navigator views this item is assigned to, right-click the item and click Show Navigator List.

About this task

Complete the following steps to delete a Navigator view or item:

Procedure

  1. In the Navigator toolbar, click Edit Navigator View.
  2. If the Navigator view you want to delete or whose item you want to delete is not displayed, select it from the Target View list.
  3. Take one of the following actions:
    • To delete the Navigator view, click Delete Navigator View. When a message asks if you are sure, click Yes or click No to cancel.
    • To delete an item, select it and click Delete Item. When a message asks if you are sure, click Yes or click No to cancel.

What to do next

  • If you delete the current Navigator view (the one showing when you opened the Navigator editor), Navigator updates pending is displayed in the Navigator view toolbar. Click this tool to remove the deleted Navigator view and open the next Navigator view.
  • Deleted Navigator items are not removed from any graphic views that you have created in workspaces for the Navigator view. You need to delete the items manually from the view itself.
  • When an agent is removed from the managed network, Navigator updates pending is displayed in the Navigator Physical view toolbar for you to refresh the view. This also happens for custom Navigator views with dynamic Navigator item members. For Navigator items with no dynamic members (child items), you must delete the agent's Navigator item to remove it from the display.
