NetInfo
Change the way properties are displayed
¬
With NetInfoManager, you can display the properties and values of a directory in a directory windowÐeither in a browser or a table. 

You can use the browser to select individual property keys and values and change them. 

You can use the table to see all the property keys and their values at the same time. 

¬
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	Choose Domain ¬ Open from the NetInfoManager menu, select the domain you want to work with, and click OK.
¬
 ¬ 	To change the display for an individual directory, double-click the directory in the domain window and choose the browser or table option from the pop-up list at the top of the directory window ;../../Tasks/ForwardingFaxes/SendingAFax.rtfd;;¬.
¬
 ¬ 	To change the display for all the directories in the NetInfo database, choose Info ¬ Preferences from the NetInfoManager menu, and then choose the table or browser option from the Inspector pop-up list ;../../Tasks/ForwardingFaxes/SendingAFax.rtfd;;¬.
¬
 ¬ 	To display the values for a property in alphabetical order, select the property in the directory window and choose Directory ¬ Sort Values from the NetInfoManager menu.
¬

CAUTION  Changing a property key or its value can have serious consequences throughout the networkÐmany processes running on the system use various properties to function properly.
