How You Edit a Generated Icon Panel

To update an icon panel, you can regenerate the panel by using an updated definition or you can edit the panel description file directly.

Enter the /GADMIN.E path to access the list of icon panels. The Panel List panel appears.

The panel displays the list of icon panels in the knowledge base. Some of these panels are generated using icon panel definitions; some of these panels are created by users (for example, by using the Copy or Rename action). If an icon panel definition generates the panel, the Name and Description columns reflect the name and description of the definition.

Consider the following when you edit an icon panel description file:

• If you regenerate an icon panel by using the P - Define Icon Panels option, you lose whatever editing you did in the description file. Use the R action to rename the panel before editing.
• The first line in a description file is the panel description, as displayed on the panel list.
• The #NOTE #ICON statement in a description file associates the specified resource groups with the icon panel.

Note: For information about panels and panel statements, see the Network Control Language Programming Guide.
