Operations Console Basics › Navigate the Topology View › Collapse or Expand the Topology View

Collapse or Expand the Topology View

If a service is complex, you can show fewer items by collapsing child objects in the Topology view of the Contents pane or the Service Modeler.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the Operations Console, and complete one of the following actions:
   • Select a service from the Services tab in the Navigation pane, and click the Topology tab in the right pane.
   • Select Tools, New Service.
   • Right-click a service from the Services tab in the Navigation pane and select Edit Service.

   Note: The Topology view can take several seconds to load.

   One or more icons represent the service on the Topology pane.

2. Right-click an item with child objects, and select Collapse/Expand, Collapse.

   Note: An alternative way to collapse is to press Shift+click over the parent item.

   The child items are no longer visible. The parent item has a small plus icon (+) in the lower right.

To expand the Topology view

Right-click a parent item that is displayed with the + icon, select Collapse/Expand, and select one of the following options:

Expand

Opens all child items. (Expand performs the same function as Shift+click.)

Expand one level

Opens the next level of child items. (Expand one level performs the same function as double-clicking the plus (+) icon.)

Notes:

• You can undo (Ctrl + Z) or redo (Ctrl + Y) a collapse or expansion.
• You can save a collapsed or expanded view in the Service Modeler. You can save it in the Contents pane when you select the option button Adjust and click the Save icon. When the View option button is selected, you cannot save the layout.
