1. Open the File menu and select Save View As to open the Save View dialog.
2. Enter a name for the fabric file or click the Browse button to select an
existing file. Files are saved in the working directory.
3. Enter a password. When you attempt to open this fabric file, you will be
prompted for this password. If you leave the File Password field blank, no
password will be required when attempting to open this fabric file.
4. Click the OK button to save the view.

Setting SANbox Manager Preferences
Using the preferences settings, you can:
Change the location of the working directory in which to save files.
Change the location of the browser used to view the online help.
Choose the fabric discovery interval. The fabric discovery interval is how
often the SANbox Manager application receives information from the fabric.
Choose 30 (default), 45, or 60 seconds. The smaller the interval, the more
often the application talks to the switch and thus the greater impact to
performance.
Enable (default) or disable the view file auto save and load feature. Refer to
”Exiting SANbox Manager” on page 2-11 for more information on the default
fabric view file.
Enable (default) or disable the use of the Initial Start Dialog at the beginning
of a SANbox Manager session. Refer to ”Starting SANbox Manager” on
page 2-10 for information about the Initial Start Dialog. After a default fabric
view file is created, this setting has no effect.
