The title bar comprises 2 parts, plus a temporary purple marker if a watch is in maintenance. See the Maintenance section below for details.

  • watch type (product type, if completed, will display instead of watch type for bearers)

  • bandwith (for bearers, traffic classes, VLANs and multilink)

  • watch name

The lower part of the title bar -

Details menu

Details menu

Most users see Tech info, Alert log, Change and About. Those with "Edit Watches" permission see Edit instead of Change. All options are explained in more detail below.

Tech info

This window shows detailed information about the device you selected. Refer to Tech Info in Reporting Inventory for details.

Alert log

Use this to see alerts from this watch location in the Alert Log. The Alert Log is filtered to match the date range selected on the Details page. All users have access to the Alert Log.

To return from the Alert Log to the Details page, right-click on your browser's back button [←] and select Details - Highlight.

This option is not available for dates before the Alert Log was implemented in April 2021.

Change

This launches your mail client and generates an email to your customer services group as listed on the Home page. The subject, watch name, location and folder auto-fill.

Use this option to request a change to the watch, location or folder you're looking at on the Details page: perhaps the bandwidth is wrong, the name or description needs changing, or you think there's an issue.

Edit

Use this to open the Edit Watch dialog for the watch currently on the Details page. Make any changes if needed, Save and return to the Details page.

If you Delete the watch, you will return to the Status Heat Tiles page for the position you have selected in the Network Explorer tree.
