10 Managing Network Views
This chapter provides information about managing the
network resources that users can view and access.
Using managed network views, you can control what users on a particular computer
see when they click the Network icon in the sidebar of a Finder window, or when they
choose Go > Network in the Finder.
A managed network view is a list of network resources that you customize to enhance
a user's browsing and resource discovery experience. You can add network resources to
what a user already sees, or specify exactly which items a user will see. You can
customize network views for a single computer, a group of computers, or an entire
subnet.
You can create managed network views that contain one or more of these
components:
• A network neighborhood, which is a collection of network resources that are grouped
for easy access. A network neighborhood looks like a folder in the network view. A
neighborhood can contain computers, other neighborhoods, and dynamic lists.
• A computer is any computer on the network. You can add computers directly to a
network view or you can add them to a neighborhood within a network view.
• A dynamic list gives you the ability to automatically generate a list of network
resources for display inside a neighborhood. For example, you can define a
neighborhood called Marketing and show within it any active computer on the
marketing network subnet.
Types of Managed Network Views
You can create three types of network views:
• Named view. A named view, customized to address specific user requirements, is
visible on only specific client computers. You associate a view with a computer by
identifying the view in a computer record or by naming the view using an Ethernet
address, an IP address, or a subnet string. The directory in which the named view is
stored must be in the client computer’s search path.
