Working with collection views and viewlets

Each collection view contains one or more viewlets. There are three types of viewlets: resource, standard, and view panel.

Resource viewlets

A resource viewlet is specific to a single instance of a resource. In Figure 3–2 each viewlet shows information about the Backorders database resource.

Standard viewlets

A standard viewlet is predefined by OpenEdge Management for displaying content from multiple resources or other aspects of OpenEdge Management.

Figure 3–3 shows a viewlet consisting only of active monitoring plans.

Other standard viewlets that OpenEdge Management provides are as follows:

View panel viewlets

A view panel viewlet displays a view for any other collection being referenced by the active collection. Your ability to define views in one collection that you can display in another collection contributes to centralized, streamlined maintenance. This ability also eliminates the need for creating duplicate viewlets of the same data.

Figure 3–4 shows the sampler view in the My Collections.Home.DBs collection. The sampler view contains viewlets showing the members of the DBs collection, any resources with alerts, any running jobs, and any running reports.
