Toolbars

Provides options for applying filters to the information windows, so that a subset of relevant information is displayed.

Activating a Filter

To activate a filter:

Select the particular filter from the Filters toolbar menu.

When a filter is active in a window, visually this is indicated by a check mark (÷) in the Filters toolbar menu and on the associated filter icon. The filter icons are also highlighted in yellow.

Deactivating a Filter

To deactivate a filter:

Click on the filter icon again or deselect the filter from the Filters toolbar drop-down menu. The appropriate check marks are cleared.

Filters can also be applied by clicking the following icons:

• Machines filter
• Applications filter
• Directories filter
• Files filter
• Local filter

When these icons are selected they are shown highlighted in yellow and with a check mark on them (except the Local filter icon).

This is used to select the columns that you want displayed in the active window. When selected, a check mark is displayed next to the column item in this menu.

In addition, the Machines window has an option which adds or removes columns in this toolbar menu.

This menu provides various options for tagging entries in the active information window. The following list shows options that are common to all windows.

• Tag all

Tags all visible entries in the active window.

• Untag all

Clears all visible tags in the active window.

• Toggle all

Toggles the tag status of all visible entries in the active window.

• Use Global Tags

Uses Global tags only for tagging items in the active window.

• Use Local Tags

Uses Local tags only for tagging items in the active window.

• Use Local Tags Once

Uses Local tags for the next tag operation, after which Global tags are used again for tagging.

Query Option

The Machines window has a Query option which allows machine queries to be performed.

The Machines window has two extra tagging commands - Load Tags List and Save Tags List. These will save or load a tag list file (.tag file) and tag matching machines. A .tag file is a text file containing the asset numbers of the tagged machines.

The Files window has an Add to SAI option which is used to ‘teach’ the application to recognize files which it previously did not recognize or recognized incorrectly (that is, as a different version/publisher).

This allows you to optimize the software analysis and consolidation capabilities of Analysis Workbench to recognize unidentified files and applications.

This option is only enabled when a user editable SAI has been loaded (by selecting Load Options in the File menu and clicking the Recognition tab) and the Files window contains at least one selected entry.

Export from window - Exports the contents of individual windows. This will display the Export to file dialog box which allows you to export the contents of the window based on the current column selection and filter settings.

A Docked toolbar is one that is attached to one edge of the program windows. You can dock a toolbar below the window title bars or to the left of the window. When you drag a toolbar to the edge of the window, the toolbar outline snaps into place along the length of the window edge.

A Floating toolbar is one that is not attached to the edge of the window.

Right-clicking on the toolbar menus and icons presents a menu with the following options:

• Floating

Floats the toolbar.

• Dock to top

Docks the toolbar to the top of the window, under the titlebar.

• Dock to left

Docks the toolbar to the left of the window.

To dock the toolbars to the appropriate window and save as default layout:

1. Double-click on the floating toolbars.
2. Select the Layout option from the Windows menu.
3. Select Save to keep this as the default layout whenever Analysis Workbench is started.

To manually move a toolbar:

1. Click the ‘move’ handle on a docked toolbar, or double-click the title bar on a floating toolbar.
2. Drag the toolbar to a new location. If you drag the toolbar to the edge of the window, it becomes a docked toolbar.

To resize a floating toolbar:

Move the pointer over any edge until it changes to a double-headed arrow, and then drag the edge of the toolbar.
