The delete function is context-sensitive based on what is currently selected in the Group and Unit Selector panes in the Remote Console Switch Software. When you select and delete a unit in the Unit list, the unit is removed from the local database. When you select and delete an item in the tree view of the Group Selector pane, you will delete Server Types, Sites, Departments, and Folders. However, none of the actions result in units being deleted from the local database.The rename function is also context-sensitive. You can select and rename a Remote Console Switch or a server from the Unit list. You can select and rename server types, sites, departments, and folder names in the tree view of the Group Selector pane.
NOTE: If you delete or rename a server through the Remote Console Switch Software, the OSCAR server list at the Console Switch becomes out of date. Re-synchronizing will not work in this instance. Servers should be deleted or renamed from OSCAR and then re-synchronized in the Remote Console Switch Software.
