Use these steps to link to a workspace
that has been targeted
from the current Navigator item or view.
About this task
Many monitoring agent products
have workspace links available
through their predefined workspaces. You can also create and use links
to workspaces that follow a logical progression of investigation into
performance and operation issues.
Procedure
- Open the workspace from where you will launch the link.
This is the source workspace.
- Do one
of the following, depending on where the link originates:
- Right-click the current (highlighted) Navigator item.
- Click the link indicator on
a table row or the graphic view, then skip to step 4. (A dimmed link
indicator means the link is not available from that row.)
- Right-click a pie chart slice, bar chart bar, plot chart point,
table row, graphic view icon, or TMS Infrastructure object.
- Click Link To and click the target
workspace in
the list.
The target filter or link
expression is used to select the information displayed in the views
of the target workspace. If, instead of the workspace opening, you
get a "Target not found" message, the definition of the target workspace
could not be resolved.
- If there is more than
one workspace you can link to, the
Select Target window opens: Select the Navigator item for the workspace
and click OK.
- If a message
asks you to select a leaf node, click OK,
then select an item deeper in the tree hierarchy.
Results
The target workspace is displayed. If the link was defined
to open the workspace in a new window, it is opened in its own window.
If you are using the browser client and your browser supports tabs,
the workspace is in a new tab next to the source workspace. Note: Navigation
using
and
to visited workspaces
retains the link context. As an example, consider a link to a workspace
from a table row. The row from which you linked is remembered when
you revisit the target workspace.
