Change User Interface Settings

Customize settings that control how the HMC interface appears. You can display or hide certain user interface components and icons, display or hide specific navigation nodes, and determine whether or not to save user interface settings changes.

To change user interface settings, do the following:

1. From the HMC Management work pane, click Change User Interface Settings. Optionally, you can also open the task by clicking on the logged on user name link displayed in the task bar below the banner. All items are selected in the Change User Interface Settings window by default.
2. Click Apply or OK for the change to take affect.
3. If you select Save settings as my defaults at logoff, any customization done to the following items are saved when the user logs off:
   • Displayed user interface components, such as the banner and taskpad
   • Displayed navigation and work pane icons
   • Displayed nodes in the navigation pane
   • Table view customization, such as filters, sorts, column sizing, ordering, and visibility settings
4. To restore all of the user interface settings to the original defaults, click Factory Defaults.
