Selecting one of the container objects in the Navigation frame causes the Content frame to display all the objects in that container. The Content frame is where you actually view and modify directory objects. The Content frame includes a header which has several available actions:

Title Bar: The Content frame’s title bar displays the name of the currently selected container object.

Object List Header: The object list header provides access to the following:

  • Add: Click the icon to add a new object.

  • Modify: Select an object and click the icon to modify.This opens the property book for the selected object so you can modify their attributes. Multiple objects can not be modified together.

  • Delete: Select an object and click the icon to delete the selected objects. Multiple objects can be deleted together. Nonleaf objects can not deleted.

  • Actions: Select an object and click the icon which opens a drop-down menu of supported tasks for the selected objects. To perform a task, select it from the drop-down menu and provide the required information.

  • Object Count: Tree view lists the number of objects in the current page at the bottom of the page. By default, content frame displays up to 20 subordinate objects per container but you can change this setting.

  • Select All: The checkbox in the header functions as a “select all” checkbox for the current page of objects.

  • Sort: Both Name and Type columns are sortable. Click either of these to toggle the object sort between ascending and descending alphabetical order.
