Before using Web-based System Manager, you should understand standard mouse mappings,
shown in the Three-Button Mouse and Two-Button Mouse illustrations:
The following terms are used throughout the online help information and are
related to the mouse actions you can perform in Web-based System Manager:
| Point |
Slide the mouse to position the pointer (mouse cursor) on an object. |
| Click or Select |
Point to an object, then press and release the left mouse button without
moving the pointer. A selected object is emphasized. Once you select an object,
actions for that object are available in the Selected menu or from certain tool
bar icons. |
| Double-Click |
Point to an object, then quickly click the left mouse button twice.
Double-clicking an object causes it to open. Double-clicking a container
causes it to open to show its contents. Double-clicking on a Task Guide causes
it to open to the first panel. Double-clicking other objects causes them to
open into a property notebook dialog box. |
| Multiselect |
Many Web-based System Manager applications support the selection of multiple objects.
There are three ways to perform a multiple selection:
- Press and hold down the left mouse button while you drag the mouse pointer
across the group of objects you want to select.
- Select one object, then press and hold down the Ctrl button while you select
one or more additional objects.
- Click one object, then move the mouse pointer to another object. Press
and hold the Shift button while you click on the second object.
|
| Choose |
Point to an object or area, then press and hold the right mouse
button to display a pop-up menu for the selected object or area. To select a
menu item, continue holding the right mouse button, point to the item and
release. |
