Access quick command either by selecting the lightning icon The quick command icon in the top right corner of the screen or by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Space.


The search bar that appears when you select the quick command icon, in which you can enter text to search for a specific object.
Note: For an object to appear in the results, you need to have access to that specific object.
  1. Start entering one of the following in the quick command search bar:
    • A network
    • A DNS zone name
    • A DNS record name
    • An IP address
    • A page name, such as DNS or Service management
    • A full client identifier string

      If a reservation, lease, or device interface exists with the client identifier, it will be displayed in the results.


    The quick command autopopulates with potential results as soon as you start entering text into the search bar.

    A list of potential results will be displayed. If you search for a DNS object, the zone authority is displayed, so that you can distinguish between multiple results with the same name and select the correct object.


    The zone authority for a DNS object is displayed to the right of the object in the quick command results.

    When searching for a client identifier, you must enter the full client identifier string in order to find the client identifier. For example, if you enter the string "11:22", quick command will not display reservations for the client identifier "11:22:33:44:55:66".

  2. Quick command performs an uninformed search in all DNS records. If a fully qualified DNS record, for example, record name + zone name starts with the given string, it will be displayed in the results.

  3. Select the object you want to work with.
  4. Select the action to perform on the object.
    After selecting an object in the quick command results, a list of actions to choose from is displayed.
