Customizing Storage Module for vCenter tables

Storage Module for vCenter pages include tables that present detailed storage information about
hosts, VMs, and datastores. The table structure can be customized to meet you needs.

Consider the following when working with the information in the storage tables:

Click Export Table to export the information in a tab to a .csv file. When prompted to browse
to a download folder, select a folder, and then click OK.

Enter a value in the text box below a column heading to filter the list by a specific value.

Click the divider between columns and drag to resize a column.

Click a column heading to sort the data by the selected column.

In the vSphere Client, click a triangle icon to the right of a column heading to change the
sorting order. To use ascending order, click the triangle that points up. To use descending
order, click the triangle that points down.

In the vSphere Web Client, click on the column heading to sort the table by the content of the
column. Clicking on the column heading reverses the sort order.
