Use the Connectors Console to create and maintain Directory and Free/Busy Connectors.

Console Tree

The console tree is located on the left side of the console and is organized by type of action. You can choose to Connect to configure the Directory and Free/Busy Connectors or Migrate to configure and perform Directory, mail, and application migrations.

Result Pane

The result pane is located in the center of the console. By default, no connectors exist, so this pane is empty. After Directory and/or Free/Busy Connectors are created, they are displayed in this pane. Click Create Filter to define criteria that limit the items that are displayed in this pane.

Filter Pane

The dialog to the far left allows you to select the information type that you want to search for when selecting Connectors. The center dialog allows you to identify how to use the information in the third dialog (for example, equals, does not equal) to define matches for this criteria.

Action Pane

The action pane is located on the right side of the console. The action pane is an extension of the shortcut menu, which is the menu that appears when you right-click an item. However, the shortcut menu is still available.

The following table lists the options available in the Connector action pane.
