The display of data on a collection page (a page that
lists collections of data or resources in a table) can be customized through
administrative console preferences. Preferences are set on a user
level, and typically must be set separately for each area of the
administrative console.
Why and when to perform this task
You can set the following display preferences
for collection pages:
- Maximum rows—Specifies
the maximum number of rows that are displayed when the collection
is large. If there are more rows than the specified maximum, they
are displayed on subsequent pages. The default value is 20.
- Retain filter criteria—Specifies whether
the last search criteria entered in the filter function is retained.
If this is enabled, the console collection pages initially use the
retained filter criteria to display the data in the table following the
preferences. See Setting administrative console filters for more information.
- Max result set size—Specifies the maximum
number of resources that a search can return. The default value
is 500.
- Max column width—Specifies the maximum
number of characters viewable in a collection column. The default value
is 18.
Perform the following steps to set display preferences
for a collection page:
Steps for this task
- From any collection page, click Preferences.
The page expands to display the preference fields.
- Modify the values for the Maximum rows, Retain
filter criteria, Max result set size,
and Maximum column width fields as desired.
- Click Apply.
The collection table is refreshed to display according
to the values you specified.
What to do next
You can also set global administrative console preferences, such as whether
the workspace is automatically refreshed and which scope to use by default.
To access the Preferences page in the administrative console, click
System
administration > Console settings > Preferences. For more information about setting preferences, see
