In System Center 2012 – Operations Manager, views are contained in management packs. If a view is contained in a sealed management pack, you can open the properties of the view but you cannot save any changes to it. However, you can change the display options of the view and then save it as a personalized view.

Note

Personalized views are only visible to the user who personalized the view.

To personalize a view

  1. In the Operations console, click Monitoring.

  2. In the Monitoring workspace, right-click the view that you want to personalize and then click Personalize view. The Personalize view dialog box displays with the default settings of the view.

  3. In Columns to display, click to place a check next to the property that you want to display in your view. You can also click to remove any checkmarks set by the original view. In the Sort columns by box, click the drop-down arrow to choose a property by which you want to sort the monitored objects in your view, and then click OK.

    Note

    In a state view, the option to sort by groups is not available. This option is available in other view types, such as the alert view and event view.

To restore view defaults

  1. In the Operations console, click Monitoring.

  2. In the Monitoring workspace, right-click the personalized view

  3. Click Reset to Default, and then click OK.
