PRTG Manual: UVexplorer Views
UVexplorer provides several views for configuring the application and discovering and interacting with discovered networks.
When the application starts the Startup Page is presented. The startup page can also be accessed from the backstage view. See Startup Page for more information about the startup page.
UVexplorer has several different primary views available for viewing network discovery results, events, reports, and a page for our Group Link HelpDesk tie-in. The available views can be changed by selecting the view links in the lower portion of the application. The currently selected view will display with larger bold text. The view links can be hidden by pressing the collapse button in the upper middle portion of the links. To restore the collapsed links press the expand button.
Devices - Device Group/Category views
UVexplorer provides two primary views for viewing network discovery results: the device properties view, and the network topology map. To reduce/filter the number of devices presented in these two views network discovery results can be segmented into logical groups. The groups are presented in a navigation pane on the left side of the main view. When a group is selected the devices in the group will be displayed in the 'Devices' and 'Map' views in the center pane.
See Device Group/Category views for more information.
The Monitors page allows you to create, configure, and view the results of the available monitors. See Monitors for more information.
The Events page displays a log of events related to scheduled discoveries. See Events for more information.
The Reports page contains reports for documenting the network device asset information collected from the network devices. The reports can be viewed and exported to multiple file formats. See Reports for more information.
The quick access toolbar is located at the top of the application by default. The toolbar can be moved below the ribbon menu by clicking the drop down icon on the left of the toolbar and selecting the 'Show Quick Access Toolbar Below the Ribbon' option. To return the toolbar select the 'Show Quick Access Toolbar Above the Ribbon' option.
The quick access toolbar contains options to open a new or previously discovered discovery result, save discovery results, and run the discovery wizard.
The ribbon menu is the main application menu presented as a tabbed ribbon menu at the top of the application. The ribbon menu contains tabs for the Backstage View, common operations on the 'Home' tab, network tools on the 'Tools' tab, and application settings on the 'Settings' tab. To change menus select any of the tabs. To hide the menu press the collapse icon on the right of the ribbon. If the ribbon is collapsed it can be restored by pressing the expand icon on the right of the ribbon.
See Ribbon Menu for more information.
