Enhanced object "where used" function 7.2.1

FortiManager includes an enhanced object "where used" function with multiple persistent where-used sessions and identification of single-object usage in the policy.

When using the Where Used function, you can view or edit rows without closing the Where <x> is used window. Instead, the Where <x> is used window stays open as a tab at the bottom right corner of the GUI. You can re-open or close the Where <x> is used window from this tab, as needed. Multiple Where x is used tabs are supported in the GUI.

For example, there are two Where <x> is used tabs available in the image below.

To use the Where Used enhancement:

1. Go to Policy & Objects.
2. Right-click an address and select Where Used.

   

   The Where <x> is used window displays.

   The Single Object column will be blank unless the address is the only object configured. If the address is the only object configured, the Single Object column will display Yes.

   

3. In the Where <x> is used window, click the minimize icon.

   The Where <x> is used tab is now available in the bottom right corner of the GUI.

   

4. Click the title on the Where <x> is used tab to re-open the window.
5. In the Where <x> is used window, select a row and click View or Edit.

   The Where <x> is used tab is available in the bottom right corner of the GUI while you view or edit the selection.

   Note that the GUI supports multiple Where <x> is used tabs at the same time. See example below:

   

6. To close a Where <x> is used tab, click the x on the tab.
