Command Description
Cut Cut text and put in clipboard. This command is for use in the various text boxes that the Console uses for data input.
Copy Text Copy text and put it in the clipboard.
Copy Text with Headers Copy text, including any associated headers, and put it in the clipboard.
Paste Insert the contents of the clipboard. This option is only activated when there is an editable text box on the panel.
Select All Select all items in the current window. Depending on the window, this can be text from the Work Area or items in the List Panel.
Hiding > Remove the selected objects, Fixlets, Tasks, Baselines, or Analyses, from the List Panel. The object itself is not actually deleted, and can be retrieved by clicking Show Hidden Content in the Console Toolbar. These options only become available when you click objects in the List Panel. Alternatively, you can right-click the objects and select hiding options from the context menu. There are four options

Globally Hide: This hides the object across all Consoles.

Globally Unhide: Relist the selected objects (either Fixlets, Tasks, Baselines, or Analyses). To find the object, click the Show Hidden Content button.

Locally Hide: Hide the object on the current Console only; other Consoles still display the object. The object itself is not actually deleted, and can be retrieved by clicking the Show Hidden Content button and selecting it from the navigation tree.

Locally Unhide: After clicking the Show Hidden Content button, you can choose to unhide locally hidden content with this command.

Create Custom Object Copy... Create a customized clone of the currently selected object (Fixlet, Task, Baseline, Computer Group, or Analysis). For each copy, you can create a header name and compose a message to describe the associated actions. You can also customize or add relevance expressions to refine the targeting of the Fixlet or Task.
Remove... Remove a customized object (including a Fixlet, Task, Baseline, Computer Group, Analysis or Site File) from its list. Confirming this choice permanently removes the customized object from the list.
Edit Custom Object... Edit the Message, Action, Relevance, and Properties of a customized object (Fixlet, Task, Baseline, Computer Group, or Analysis).
Groups > Manage groups of computers. This item expands to include:

View as Group: Create an ad-hoc group from a selected set of computers. You can then view the Fixlets, Tasks, Baselines, Actions, and Analyses that pertain to this particular group.

Add to Manual Group...: Add the selected computers to a named group. You can either attach the computer to an existing group or create a new named group. You must supply a password to propagate the new group name to the selected clients.

Remove From Manual Group: Remove a computer from the specified group. First, select the group from the navigation tree on the left, then select a computer from the list. You must supply a password to propagate the change.

Stop Action Stop the selected actions.
Assign User Management Rights... Opens a display that lets you grant and revoke management rights on a computer-by-computer basis.
Find... Opens a dialog that prompts you for a search field and search string. You can search for fields that either contain or do not contain the search string. In addition, for objects that can be hidden, such as Fixlets, Tasks, Baselines, or Analyses, you can search based on visibility.
