> ### Additional console details

> Keep the following details in mind as you work with the management console:

> - All required fields in the management console appear in red by default. If you are reading this document in `.pdf` file format through a browser, notice that the required fields shown in the screen captures also display in red.
> Depending on your printer and printer options, it is possible that the required fields will not print in red if you print the `.pdf` file.

> - The management console presents some intial default values for Fathom that you can either retain to get Fathom up and running quickly or change to suit your own particular needs.
> - When you select a resource, the management console provides summary information at the top of the detail frame to help you assess—at a glance—name, polling, and status information such as last poll, last failure, and percent of failure.
> - The management console includes ToolTips that save you from clicking on each Fathom alert to see the contents of the alert message. ToolTip information that summarizes alert details for a resource can be displayed on alert icons in the list frame and on the specific alert as it appears on the resource monitor summary page. To display a ToolTip, place your cursor over either of these alert icons; the summarized alert message appears after a few moments.
> - Fathom does not asynchronously updates pages, except when you are starting or stopping OpenEdge servers or databases. Therefore, periodically refresh the management console to be sure that you are looking at the most up-to-date data.
> You can also set the pages to refresh automatically. (By default, this option is disabled.) Click Options on the console menu bar, and then select User Preferences. You can then choose how often you want Fathom to automatically refresh the pages.

> - To display session context data in more than one browser, you should launch a separate browser. Creating a new browser window simply using the browser's functionality can lead to an unreliable display of information.
