NetInfo
Change the way directories are displayed
¬
The directories in a domain are normally displayed by nameÐthat is, by the value of their name property. 

You can use the directory's ID number or any other property to display directories and subdirectories. You can also show or 
hide ID numbers with the property you choose. You use NetInfoManager to make these changes

¬
1	Log in as root on any computer on the network.
	If you don't log in as root, you can type the root password if the User Authentication panel appears. 
¬
2	Double-click NetInfoManager in /NextAdmin. 
¬
3	
 ¬ 	To display directories by a property you choose, select a directory, choose Domain ¬ View ¬ View By from the NetInfoManager menu. Then select the property you want to use and click Set ;OpenNetInfoDirectory.rtfd;;¬.
	The new view applies to the subdirectories of that directoryÐyou can show different directories with different views in the same domain window.
¬
 ¬ 	To show directory ID numbers in the current domain window, choose 	Domain ¬ View ¬ Show ID Numbers from the NetInfoManager menu.
	The Show ID Numbers command changes to Hide ID Numbers when you select it. You can use that command to hide the numbers again.
¬
 ¬ 	To sort the subdirectories in a directory alphabetically, select 
	the directory in the domain window window and choose 
	Domain ¬ View ¬ View Sorted from the NetInfoManger menu.
	The View Sorted command changes to View Unsorted. You may want to use this command if you're adding subdirectories and don't want NetInfoManager to resort each time you add a subdirectory.
