Goverlan displays a large set of information, a list of objects and data on these objects. To increase performance and reduce network load, object lists are cached into memory, queried from a domain controller once, and then extracted from memory.
The cached object lists are:
The domain list as well as the Active Directory container hierarchy.
The user, computer and group lists of opened containers and domains.
You may need to reload an object list in order to see changes which occurred in the list since it was initially loaded. To reload an object list, click on the
button in the Ribbon Bar. Only the currently focused object list is reloaded. For instance, if the Network Browser Panel is displayed, then the domain list and the Active Directory container hierarchy are reloaded. Similarly, if the user list of a container is displayed, only this list is reloaded.
The object views display real-time information about the selected object. Every time you activate an information category for an object, it is queried over the network and reported in Goverlan.
You can refresh a specific set of information by activating it again from the tree. You can also refresh all currently visible information sets in the tree by:
Clicking on the
button in the Ribbon Bar,
or pressing the F5 key on your keyboard.
Doing any of the above actions trigger all visible information sets in the active object view to be refreshed once. If you want to have the information auto-refreshed, click on the
button in the Ribbon Bar.
The refresh frequency of the Auto Refresh feature depends on the extent of the information to be updated in your expanded tree. The more information to be refreshed, the longer it will take. You can monitor the actual refresh rate by checking the Refresh Status Icon located in the Selection Activator.
