I cannot collapse the nodes discovered and showing in my NPM website resulting in a cluttered unweildy view, please help.
The + shows besides the devices/sites but they are aslready expanded.
Mate,
In order to collapse you need to group by a property , so as to create a tree structure. Ensure that your resource is an all nodes tree. to group by node property click on edit, under group by node select the groups you want.
If you find that this was working before but no longer or the groups are custom properties that dont show up in there, then you will have to update your report schema (normally if you upgrade to new SP)
In custom property editor , right click menu bar, click customise, click commands tab, scroll down the commands section to the update report schemas and drag to menu bar. click on this and it should update.
Hope one of these solves your issues mate.

Yes...please use the All Nodes - Tree (AJAX) view which allows you to group nodes using 3 levels of nesting. As Miron as stated use the Custom Property editor to create those columns to group on. That should fix your problem.

Miron & BB,
Thanks for your prompt response. I have the tree structure but everything is showing in an expanded view and I want it initially in collapsed view so has to have a more limited view and expend as necessary.
At the risk of sounding thick please tell me what else I might try. I have grouped the nodes discovered by property using the 3 groups I want but they are all expanded making the list very long when ideally I'd want to just see the locations which I can then expand as desired. The groups are new custom properties and they show up in the edit screen as expected.
I have updated the report schema as directed. I dont know if it has ever worked as we have really used the web interface of the product.
I am desperate for this to work.
Cheers.
so basically everything is expanded. I cant recall ever seeing a setting that instructs the website to expand everything as default. (sorry) will have a look but im sure someone at sw will give you a solution before i find it:-)
what happens if you delete and recreate the resource.
Thanks Miron,
We dont use the web interface but the server seide is polling and sending alerts so I will not like to ado something that would affect the production environment.
When you say delete the resorce do you mean rediscover the nodes all over again? Please clarify with steps if possible.
Your assistance is much appreciated.
Cheers,
Martha.
