Use this procedure to view timestamps, refresh data, manage table columns, resize columns, export table data, and sort or filter content in Cisco Optical Network Controller applications.

Use common controls in Cisco Optical Network Controller applications to manage table views, refresh data, export data, and sort or filter content.

Cisco Optical Network Controller applications share common controls for timestamps, refresh actions, column preferences, table export, sorting, and filtering. Use these controls to manage application views consistently across the web UI.

Note

Timezone configuration is supported from Release 25.1.2. Cisco Optical Network Controller web UI displays time in the configured timezone. Change the timezone using the CLI. The timestamps in the UI differ between Releases 25.1.1 and 25.1.2. See Update Timezone Configuration.

Before you begin

Log in to Cisco Optical Network Controller.

Follow these steps to use common controls in Cisco Optical Network Controller applications:

Procedure

  1. View the timestamp.

    The timestamp appears in the header area of application screens. The current date appears with the time.

  2. Click Refresh to refresh table content or topology status in an application screen.

  3. Click the Column Preferences icon to display, hide, or reorder columns on an application page.

    1. Select or deselect the corresponding check box to display or hide a column from the table view.
    2. Use the drag handle next to the column name to move the column to a new position in the table.
    3. Click Reset to revert the view to its default settings.
    Note

    The position of columns with a lock icon is fixed and cannot be changed. The preferences and changes remain saved until you reset them to default.

  4. Resize the columns.

    1. Hover over the boundary line between two column headers until the resize cursor appears.
    2. Click and drag left or right to adjust the column width as needed.

  5. Export the current table.

    1. Click Export to export the details of any table from any application screen to a spreadsheet file.
    2. Choose a table view and click Export to download the current table with the filters enabled as an Excel spreadsheet.
      Note

      When you export a table, the resulting spreadsheet contains all columns in the table, not only the fields selected from the Show or hide columns drop-down list.

  6. Export all data relevant to the current application.

    1. Click Export to export the details of any table from any application screen to a spreadsheet file.
    2. Choose All items.
      Note

      This label changes based on the app you are using. For example, All Nodes in the Nodes app, All Services in Service Manager, and so on.

    3. Click Generate to initiate file generation.

  7. Use the Sort option to sort the table values.

  8. Use the Filter option to filter table content in each application screen.

You can use common application controls to manage table views, refresh content, export data, and sort or filter content in Cisco Optical Network Controller applications.
