Speed up Altiris Web Console

The Symantec Management Console enhanced views let you configure specific settings. You can configure specific search fields so that you can see your results as you type them. You can configure these same search fields so that you can see your results only after you press Enter. You can configure the enhanced views to use IME (Input Method Editor) so that you can input double-byte characters in these views. You can also configure the number of computers and software that appear in the results list. If you manage a very large number of computers, this setting can improve the load time.

To configure the enhanced Symantec Management Console views settings

  1. In the Symantec Management Console, on the Settings menu, click Console > Enhanced Views.

  2. In the Enhanced Views Settings dialog box, configure the following settings:

Search

As you type - This option lets you see the results as you type the requirements into the search field. The default setting is As you type.

After you press Enter - This option lets you see your results only after you type the requirements into the search field and then press Enter.

These search options affect the following search fields:

  • Computers view, center pane search field, which includes all saved and filtered searches

  • Software view, center pane search field, which includes all saved and filtered searches

Allow IME (Input Method Editor) for entering double-byte language characters

Turns on IME support for enhanced console views and for the First Time Setup portal. When this option is checked, you can use IME to input double-byte characters on these pages.

Limit Computer and Software result lists to:

Limits the number of computers or software that can appear in a results list. If your environment has a hierarchy with thousands of computers, the lists can take a long time to load and may even timeout. This limit sets how many rows the query should return. The default setting is 20,000, but you can reduce this setting to improve load times. If there are additional rows, the last row indicates that there are more records and lets you load them.
