The Server Density UI includes a number of features to help save time, which you might not be aware of.

Noted elsewhere

• Displaying server hostnames
• Notification center, open alerts, filters and icons

Multi select and mass actions

In table views, you can select multiple items and perform mass actions e.g. you can mass select devices and perform a delete across all of them.

Multi select is available for devices, services and alerts.

How to use mass select depends on which operating system you're using.

Multi select on OS X

• Select single items: Cmd + Click
• Select range of items: Shift + Click at the top of the selection then Shift + Click at the bottom of the selection to select all items inbetween

Multi select on Windows and Linux

• Select single items: Ctrl + Click
• Select range items: Shift + Click at the top of the selection then Shift + Click at the bottom of the selection to select all items inbetween

Search box matching

The search box available on both the devices and services view will search based on various match types including partial match and regular expressions.

Expand/hide all notification center blocks

Alt+Click on the notification center headings will expand or collapse all of those blocks e.g. Alt+Click on the date title will expand or collapse them all in one go, rather than clicking on them individually:

Highlight triggered alerts

You can highlight triggered alerts by clicking on the notification center entry. This will take to the alert config from anywhere.
