GUI columns

Tue Aug 03, 2021 8:31 pm

Is there a way within the GUI or CLI to choose which items you want to see in the GUI lists?

GUI EXAMPLE
Select Interfaces from side menu
New windows pops up. Across the top are headings:
Name Type Tx Rx ............. and many more

If you click on the windows right down arrow, and select Show Columns, you get additional heading items to add or remove from the current window. HOWEVER, You can only select a single item on or off. If you want to add and remove multiple items you have to go back and forth multiple times.

Sure would be nice to either CLI this feature for the GUI display of allow the administrator to select/deselect multiple items at the same time.

Anyone know if this can be done and how?

Thank you
Frank

There aren't so many options, to make a special selection interface just for that.
All it takes is a few clicks.

IMHO It should be enogh not to close window after selecting an item but after pressing "OK" button which should be added to that window.

Come on! There are some windows with many column options and it is a real drag to select them (after having removed useless colums that are enabled by default, like the FP stats in interfaces).
It requires THREE clicks for every column at least, and in some windows even more because the list of column names has to be scrolled (e.g. Firewall filter rules)

It is a feature that has been requested before. It would be an improvement when the "show columns" menu item would not show the list of items as part of the menu, but show a dialog with a checkmark for every column and an OK button. Then you can quickly tick the columns you want and confirm the entire selection.

Do you ever wonder why some small companies remain small despite the hard working back-end programmers, engineers and managers providing long hours giving up their family time to make a better product only to have the public facing voice dismiss real customers??????

Juniper Networks has this exact same problem, great product but extremely lousy public voice "not my problem attitude " at the front door. They continue to struggle.

Cisco didn't grow to the behemoth by blowing off customers ...... Thankfully there are other choices. At the moment, I do not have a choice of what infrastructure equipment is installed, at the moment.
