Ability to see backbone pair/strand details/status

Filtering Logic-Navigator Tree

The information you see in the List and Detail View sections on the right

side of the window is filtered by your location in the Navigator Tree. For

example, if you highlight a campus, and then select Horizontal Links,

you will see all the HLs for the entire campus. If you highlight a

Faceplate, you will see only the HL(s) for that Faceplate.
See

“Navigator Tree” on page 1-4

Reports

With Cable Management, reports are output to HTML. When generated,

they will appear as you have specified them in your web browser, and

can be printed in color. See

“Reports” on page 4-29

Reporting capabilities include the ability to print details of any record

directly from List View. Report types include Asset details, Space details,

time. It's easy to make reports specific to details of your cabling

infrastructure.
