4.8 Using Classes and Properties to Enhance Finding Elements

When using the Find feature in the Operations Center console, it is possible to either enter a class or property name or select a custom class or property value from a drop-down list as search criteria.

Define the list of classes and properties that display by selecting the Include in Find Dialog check box when creating a custom class or property. The classes and properties are added to the Class or Property drop-down lists in the Find dialog box.

To enable the Find dialog with custom Class and Property look up:

  1. Edit the /OperationsCenter_install_path/html/client/template/launch.jnlp file, then add the following property assignment in the resources section:

    <property name="PretaggedSearchMode" value="true"/>

  2. Run the Operations Center Configuration Manager and click Apply.
