To save or open a set of forms for quick access
Purpose
You can save a set of open forms and reopen them all later with one operation, to provide quick access to forms that you use often or need to return to.
CAUTION Service Disruption |
Network activity can cause changes to quick-access forms when they are not open. When reopened, the saved forms may collectively exceed the memory threshold for the NFM-P GUI.
Nokia recommends that you limit the number of quick-access forms in a set. Close any unnecessary forms before you save the set of open forms. When you save a parent form, consider whether you need to save the open child forms (tabs).
If you exceed the memory threshold, restart the NFM-P client, then save a reduced number of quick access forms.
Before you begin
Consider the following when you save a set of forms for quick access.
-
Only configuration forms that support a property form identifier are saved in the set. See NFM-P clipboard in GUI overview.
-
When quick-access forms are reopened, they may not appear exactly as they did when they were saved. The size and location of configuration forms is not preserved. The current values and configurations may be different from those in effect at the time the set of forms was saved.
-
If an object is deleted from NFM-P management, the configuration form for that object is removed from the saved set of forms.
-
Open configuration forms that are displayed in external windows are saved with the set of quick-access forms, but they are displayed as internal windows when the forms are reopened.
-
All quick-access forms display an icon on the taskbar when reopened.
-
If you save a set of forms when child forms are displayed as tabs in a parent form, all of the child tabs are saved as separate forms. When you reopen the forms, the child tabs are displayed as separate forms. See To manage configuration forms with built-in navigation trees for more information.
