APC NetBotz 320 Rack Appliance NBRK0320E User Manual

If desired, you can create folders in the Navigation Pane. Folders enable you to create virtual groups of 
pods and devices that can be used to simplify organization of your various pods and devices for 
management purposes.

By default, the Navigation Pane does not feature any folders. Instead, the Navigation Pane presents a 
selectable list of all pods and devices that are associated with the appliance. When you add a folder, you 
include one or more pods or devices that are associated with the appliance in the folder as well. Devices 
that are included in a folder continue to be listed in the selection list as well, and an individual pod or 
other device can be included in multiple folders.

Folders offer a convenient way to organize devices into user-specified groupings. Furthermore, when a 
folder is not expanded, the color of the folder represents the current “worst” alert state of any device that 
exists within the folder. for example, if you create a folder that contains all of the devices in a specific 
building and one of those devices enters an alert state, the name of the folder will turn red to indicate that 
one of the devices in the folder is alerting.

Folders can be created, modified, or deleted only when using the Advanced View. However, any folders 
that are created using the Advanced View will be visible in the Navigation Pane of the Basic View.

To create or modify a folder:

1. Right-click on the background of the Navigation pane (not on a device) and then select Add Folder. 

To modify a previously created folder, right-click on the folder and select Modify Folder.

2. The Add Folder window appears. Type in the Folder Name field a name for this folder.

3. To add devices, select from the Available Enclosures selection list one or more devices that you 

want to include in this folder, and then click the “right arrow” (>) button to move the selected 
devices into the Selected Enclosures selection list. 

4. To remove devices, select from the Selected Enclosures selection list one or more devices that you 

do not want to include in this folder, and then click the “left arrow” (<) button to move the selected 
devices into the Available Enclosures selection list.

5. Click OK to save the folder.

To delete a previously created folder, right-click on the folder and click Delete Folder.

If desired, you can lock the Navigation pane so that only a specific device is selected.Once the Navigation 
pane is locked, you will not be able to select any other devices from the Navigation pane until you unlock 
the pane. Once you have locked the Navigation pane, the Advanced View will automatically start with the 
pane in the locked state. 

To lock the pane to a specific device, first select the desired device. Then, right-click on the device and 
select Lock selection. To unlock the pane, right-click on any device in the Navigation pane and select 
Lock selection.

Located in the lower-left hand corner of the interface, the Sensor Data pane displays the current readings 
and alert status of any sensors that are associated with the item that is currently selected in the Navigation 
pane. If the selected item is an output relay device (such as a Output Relay Pod 120 or a supported 
RS232-based relay output device) then the current state of the relay is displayed.
