File > Open Network Browser

Each time a network project is saved, it is recorded in the Network Browser window. Each network project is uniquely identified in the Network Browser by its Path and Runcode. The Network Browser also provides additional details for each network project such as the user, the last modified date/time, descriptive comments about the network, and user-defined labels.

Filter the projects by user-defined labels by selecting a label from the Labels list on the left hand pane, or by typing in a custom string in the Filter text box and pressing <Enter> or <Return>. A label is a user-created descriptive tag which can be applied to one or more networks. For example, the label OSPF was created in the example below to tag all networks which have the OSPF protocol.
