The Details window displays several tab buttons. The commonly seen buttons are shown in TABLE 13-1.
Clicking a tab button updates the window with the panel for that tab.

To Start the Details Window |
1. | Double click the left mouse button on an object icon in either the hierarchy view or the topology view. |
Be sure to select an object, not a administrative domain, as the Details window is not available for administrative domains. |
The Details window is displayed (FIGURE 13-1). |
2. | Click a tab to view detailed information for that category. |
If information in a table cell is too long to be displayed in full, you may be able to see more information by holding the mouse pointer in the cell for several seconds. A pop-up balloon (tool tip) is displayed, showing the complete text contained in that cell.
The hierarchy can be expanded or compressed, depending on the position of the expansion/compression icon (FIGURE 6-2). The icon is compressed when the "handle" is pointing right. The icon is expanded when the "handle" is pointing down.
Click the compression icon to expand the hierarchy view ("unroll" and display more levels of detail).
