Solved: How to select multiple entries in object explorer

S_E_ · ‎2024-01-15

hi,

sorry for dumb question:

we couldn't find out the best practice for adding/selecting multiple objects via SmartConsole

Object Explorer: Simply take an Network object and try to add more than 100 existing host objects to it.

Pressing 100 times the plus sign is not really funny. CTRL-A or SHIFT does not work. Even when you can select them by type or comment.

Best Regards

Oh, now I see what you mean. I'll open an internal RFE (request for enhancement) to add capabilities like Group Selected Objects (which does exist directly from rulebase).

Thats not dumb question at all actually. Not sure if that was ever possible, but will play around and see.

If you are running R81.20 there is a degradation and it stopped working. This should be fixed in an upcoming JHF.

I just tested in R80.40, exact same issue...

Best I found was holding SHIFT and then adding entries, but thats literally the same as hitting + sign. I wont give up, its really bugging me now, Im sure there is way to do this...

Click on the first object, then Shift + last object.

This is how it looks in R81.10. As I mentioned above there was a degradation in R81.20 that is fixed in one of the JHFs

I tried exactly that in R81.10 yesterday, nothing...

Hi

hm, does not work for me R81.10 HF110 / SmartConsole Build 420

Yes, I can highlight them. But I'm unable to put them into a Network Object Group.

Regards

You screenshot shows a selection of a couple of hosts. Are you able to copy them into a NetworkObjectGroup e.g. "MyServer" ?

the_rock · ‎2024-01-16

Yup, exactly same issue here...
