Workbench

NxTop Center includes a set of tools for the IT Admin to investigate and optimize a NxTop, either a NxTop base image or as a specific user's instance of that NxTop. Using the tools in the Workbench affects a "sandbox" copy of the NxTop, and does not affect the working version of a NxTop by default.

Once you add a NxTop to the Workbench, it appears as a project under Workbench in the navigation panel as the selected object.

 

 

Adding a NxTop to the Workbench

Step One

Select NxTop

Select the NxTop to put in the Workbench:

  • Select the NxTop under NxTops on the navigation panel to investigate an NxTop image.
  • Select the NxTop under Users and Groups > Users > username to investigate an individual user's NxTop.

Step Two

Step Two

Click Add to Workbench the Add to Workbench action.

A project is created under Workbench for the selected NxTop. The project is selected under Workbench in the NxTops or User NxTops folder, with the available tools displayed as actions.

Step Three

See the individual Workbench tools for more information:

Note: A Workbench project for a NxTop or User NxTop does not affect the working version of the NxTop.

You can leave a Workbench project in place as long as it is needed. When finished with the Workbench tools, select the Delete action to remove the project from the workbench.
