ipMonitor provides the ability to save your session settings based on your personal preferences for navigating through the interface.

For example, as you use the software you may choose to expand certain inline help boxes, while leaving others closed. You may navigate the SNMP Tree until you reach a particular branch you'd like to return to the next time you log in to ipMonitor. Or you may choose to view 25 Monitors per page each and every time you view the Monitors List. All these configuration settings can be saved, allowing you to maintain the settings you prefer upon logging in to ipMonitor.

You may choose to customize your settings in order to:

• Create an entire custom configuration for all ipMonitor features, or customize only a few key settings.
• Ensure your settings are uniquely yours - with the exception of Guest Accounts, each User has the ability to configure specific user settings.
• Preserve your settings, even when you choose to try a different custom configuration. No matter how many changes you make to the selected options within the interface, unless you save them, ipMonitor will revert to your previously saved settings the next time you log in.

Your session settings can be saved from the My Settings screen in either the Administration or the Reports Center interface. Alternatively, you may also save your settings from the drop-down configuration menu in the Real-Time Reports interface.

To save your session settings from the Administration interface:

1. Select the 'Settings' menu option, then select 'My Settings' from the drop-down menu.

2. Click the 'OK' or 'Apply' button at the bottom of the 'Edit My Settings' screen.

To save your session settings from the Reports Center interface:

1. Select the 'Edit my Settings' option.
2. Click the 'OK' or 'Apply' button at the bottom of the 'Edit my Settings' screen.

To save your session settings from the Real-Time Reports interface:

1. Click on the Top 'Groups Status' Bar to bring down the configuration menu.
2. Click the 'Save' button.

Note: Saving your session settings by using any of the above methods will result in all your settings being saved/overwritten, regardless of the interface being used.
