== Customizing the VMM Administrator Console ==
A number of options are provided for making minor customizations to the appearance of the VMM Administrator Console. The following lists the available mechanisms for modifying the console appearance:
* '''Pane Sizes''' - The sizes of panes within the VMm Adminsitrator Console window may be resized by moving the mouse pointer over the edgle of a pane until the cursor changes to a line and two arrows. At this point, click and drag the pane side to enlarge or reduce the size.
* '''Navigation Pane''' - The pane running vertically down the left hand side of the console window is referred to as the ''Navigation Pane''. This pane can be hidden to provide more space for other panes either by selecting the ''View->Navigation Pane'' menu option, or pressing ''Alt+F1''. To restore the pane, simply repeat the menu selection or keyboard sequence.
* '''Action Pane''' - The along the right hand side of the VMM Administrator Console window is the ''Actions Pane''. This pane may also be hidden either by selecting the ''View->Action Pane'' menu option, or pressing ''Ctrl+T'' on the keyboard.
* ''Table Columns'' - Depending on the currently selected view, the VMM Administrator Console may display a table containing information relevant to the view, for example containing information about virtual machines or hosts. The table will, by default, contain a number of different columns. The columns displayed may be configured by selecting the ''View->Columns'' menu option or clicking on ''Columns'' in the toolbar to display the ''Select Columns'' dialog. Alternatively, right clicking with the mouse on the column header in the table will display a list of options for changing the current column type.
The ''Select Columns'' dialog allows columns relevant to the current view to be turned off or on, or moved to a different position in the table. In addition, a wide range of additional columns not displayed by default are also available for addition to the table.
It is important to note that some columns are mandatory and, as such, may not be hidden. These columns are listed in the ''Select Columns'' dialog and popup menu, but cannot be de-selected. The following figure shows the column selection options for the Virtual Machine view:
