Creating Management Views
FlexNet Manager Suite 2020 R2 (On-Premises)
Almost every management page of FlexNet Manager Suite enables you to apply filters to show only the desired records (see Using Filters to Limit Data Size). For example, you can apply filters on the All licenses page to view the licenses allocated to inventory devices present in Melbourne location. The filters must be changed to view another set of records such as viewing SQL Server licenses available in Europe. Because a page can only preserve the most recent filters and view settings, you have to reapply the same set of filters and settings to view the same set of records.
The Save view as feature of FlexNet Manager Suite enables you to
create customized management views of a page by saving the current state of the user interface
settings applied on the page. For example, you can create a personalized view of the
All Inventory page to show only Oracle servers installed in the US, and
another one to show all virtual machines hosted in Europe. You can access these preserved
views through the Management View Index page. When you click the
Save view as link on the top right corner of a management page,
FlexNet Manager Suite saves the current state of the page and makes it accessible from
the Management View Index page (see Management View Index). When you create a management view,
FlexNet Manager Suite saves the following settings:
- Simple filters, header filters, and advanced filters
- Columns and their order in the table
- Sort order
- Pagination preferences like the number of rows per page selected.
