About the view pane

The View pane is the largest area of the user interface and is located below the title bar and menu bar.

The view pane may display one of a variety of layouts, depending on the function of the view. The following view layouts are used most often:

Table views display information in tabular form. You can sort, filter, rename and customize them using a standard set of control buttons. Table views include reports, lists of people, hardware, access zones, access rights, and many other types of information. Several table views use the learn mode to add or assign information to the currently listed table. Many table views also have a Auto Refresh option that, when clicked, refreshes the table data.
NOTE: If a table requires more than 5,000 lines, a message alerts you that only the first 5,000 records are available for viewing. To view all relevant data, filter the table so that its maximum display value does not exceed 5,000 lines.
Edit views display properties and option lists that you use to create and configure selected items.

These views usually have control buttons located directly below the view title for performing save, refresh, or other context-appropriate actions.
Another characteristic of edit views is the presence of tabs for grouping information. Tabs allow you to conveniently view more information in a small amount of user interface space. Switching among tabs does not typically require a save action because you are not leaving the current page when you change tabs.
Function views include views that perform a maintenance or communication action, such as a system backup or a network identification action.
