Saving a Context

You can use the Save Context function to save the window setup and locations that you have selected for monitoring a network. For example, if you regularly use a view where you have a Map Window, Tree Window, and Status Window open, you can save this view as a "context" so that you can later open the context without having to restart the Tree and Status Windows. You can use the Save Context function to save several different views of the network.

To save a context:

  1. From the File menu, select Save Context. The following dialog box appears. Click New and enter a Context Name, and click OK.
  2. Select one of the following start options:

    Start as currently displayed. When you open the context, it will be displayed as shown in the current display, with current window locations.

    Start in Mini Status mode. When you open the context, it will be displayed in Mini Status mode. Mini Status mode provides a simple listing of the network elements (in place of the main window) and is designed to save screen space. For more information, see "Using the Mini Status View".

    Start Minimized. When you open the context, it will be displayed as an icon (minimized).

  3. Optionally, select the Reload Context on Startup option if you want this context to open whenever you start WhatsUp Gold.
  4. Click OK to save your changes.

To open a context:

  1. From the File menu, select Open Context. The "Open Context" dialog box appears.
  2. Select a context name.
  3. Click OK to open the context.
