Inventory Wizard
The Inventory Wizard enables you to create a new Domain Inventory for one or more domains.
There are several different ways to invoke the Inventory Wizard:
- Press "Ctrl+Shift+I".
- Click the Inventory button on the Main Toolbar.
- Select New > Inventory from the File menu.
- Right-click a domain in the Domain Explorer, or anywhere in the Domain Explorer, and select Inventory.
The Inventory Wizard contains the following data entry fields:
- The domains to inventory - click each domain to inventory. Use the Ctrl or Shift keys when clicking to select more than one domain. Please note that any domain selected with the Domain Explorer or Active Domains Table active when the Inventory Wizard is invoked will be preselected already.
- The domain login credentials - if you checked the Remember username/password check box when activating or modifying the domain, the username and password are already filled in. Otherwise, the domain is displayed in italics, and you must enter the username and password in the Domain Credentials section.
If you have multiple domains selected, every one must have its credentials filled in before you can create the inventories. If any of the selected domains are missing credentials, a message at the top of the Inventory Wizard says that the required credentials are missing and the Finish button is greyed out.
- Whether to remember the username and password - if you check the Remember username/password check box, you won't have to enter domain login credentials for any future domain access operations.
When you have finished editing the Inventory Wizard, you can click the Finish button to create the inventories. A progress indicator tracks the progress as the inventories are created.
The successful completion of the Inventory Wizard results in:
- A new Domain Inventory editor is opened in the Document Pane for each domain you selected.
- The Domain Explorer is modified as follows:
- If you checked the Remember username/password check box, the domain node icon is decorated to indicate that the login credentials have been persisted.
- A new Domain Inventory entry is added to the Inventory History folder for each domain you selected.
