List Viewer Viewing Lists This topic contains the following information: Overview List Viewer Window See Also Overview The List Viewer displays information in a table format. The information can be in the form of text, numbers, gauges, alarms, or graphs. Lists are configured in the List Designer application, or you can display predefined lists. The lists that you can view depend on your permissions. To change the order of the columns drag the column headers. There are two types of lists, Group and Detail. Group lists display aggregated information for a group of systems in each row. Detail lists display data for individual hosts or targets in each row. In a Group list, double-click the row of a group to drill down and see the Detail list for the group. If you do not have the List Viewer permission set in the Access Control List (ACL), you will see a "Permission Denied" message when you try to run the List Viewer application.
