The NeDi GUI
NeDi features a modular frontend, which can easily be customized. This is done by commenting out or including lines beginning with "module" in nedi.conf. If a module is enabled in the file, the menu item corresponding to the module is included. The "Section" controls the top menu, and the "module" to the menu item. The Section-Module.php interprests these lines. The icon used is specified in the 3rd column. The group determines which users are allowed to see and use that particular module, so it can be customized for classes of users as well.
The NeDi web GUI modules have many common elements. Here's some useful information to keep in mind while using the GUI:
- Each module consists of a header row and a main input form. A larger version of the menu icon always shows up to the left and a click on it resets the module to its defaults. If you hover over it, the exact module name is revealed (shown in the footer as well)
- If "List optimize" is selected (next to
in User-Profile), a history is shown next to the menu
- Use the "Find IT" search field in the header, to get quick results on any text, IP or MAC address
- The print icon
in the header opens a printable view of the current module (usually without the main input form). On most lists you can click on the rows to highlight them
- You can save the state of most modules to a bookmark or use the notepad icon
in the header to add a link to the admin message in User-Profile (look for "EDIT" on the bottom and change accordingly)
- Text links usually lead to applying a filter within the current form
- Numbers after a bar-image (e.g. # of device types) take you to the corresponding list module
- Used SQL queries can be shown by clicking on the debug icon
(only shown for admin). It executes the query in Other-Export for quick analysis
- Regular users see
and those having a view filter applied get 
instead. Hovering over it reveals the username and current server time
