Hierarchical list of the anti-virus network

A hierarchical list of the anti-virus network is located in the middle part of the window. The list (catalog) represents the tree structure of the anti-virus network elements. The nodes in this structure are groups and workstations within these groups.

You can perform the following using the hierarchical list elements:

•Left-click the name of a group or station to display the control menu of the corresponding element (in the left part of the window) as well as brief information on the station on the property pane (in the right part of the window).

•Left-click the icon of a group to open or hide the contents of the group.

•Left-click the icon of a station to open the properties sheet of this station.

The appearance of an icon depends on the type and status of this element (see table below).

Icons of elements in the hierarchical list

Management of the anti-virus network catalog elements is carried out via the toolbar of the hierarchical list.

Toolbar

The toolbar of the hierarchical list contains the following elements:

Click Apply to start searching by the specified parameters.

The search criteria are the same as those described in the Search Panel section, except for the Configuration additional item. The criterion allows you to search by certain parameter values of the anti-virus components installed on stations. When you select this criterion, the search panel opens with the following settings:

▫Component—in the drop-down list, select the name of the anti-virus component whose settings will be searched. Use the search function to make the component selection from the list easier: start entering the name into the component field, the system will automatically suggest items containing the entered symbols.

▫Parameter—in the drop-down list, select the name of the parameter whose values will be searched. Parameters with a complex structure of permissible values are not available for the search.

▫Value—set the value of the parameter selected above. Depending on the permissible values of a specific parameter, you will be offered either a drop-down list with the permissible values or an entry field to specify the values manually via the keyboard.

To reset the search parameters, click the Default button.

Settings of clients sorting—change the parameter used for sorting and the sorting order of the Dr.Web Server clients in the anti-virus network tree: stations, Dr.Web Proxy Servers, and neighbor Dr.Web Servers.

•To select the sorting parameter, set one of the following flags (only one parameter can be selected):

▫Identifier—sort by unique identifiers of the clients.

▫Name—sort by names of the clients.
