Object Names Display

You have different possibilities to show the names of the objects in the list:

• The friendly name output: The objects are shown with their relative distinguished names:
  
  
  
  In subtree views, the friendly name output shows you the hierarchical path of the objects:
  
  
  
  
• The DN output: The objects are shown with their full technical distinguished name:
  
  
  
  This output can be used for onelevel or deeptree views:
  
  
  
  
• The Novell notation output: The objects are shown with their dotted Novell DN notation:
  
  
  

You can configure the object list name output with the menu option View - List output Settings or the Show friendly object names button and the Show distinguished name in Novell notation button .

The Show friendly object names button creates a user-friendly output of names.

The Show distinguished name in Novell notation button shows the names in Novell's dotted notation.
