Context sharing is when the focus of one viewlet determines the content that is displayed in one or more viewlets on the same HTML page. A simple example illustrates how this might work. When instance context sharing is enabled for a Notification Log viewlet, a user can select a failed node in a Map viewlet and the Notification Log displays the notifications related to the selected map node. The VMware Smart Assurance Service Assurance Manager Operator Guide provides additional information about context sharing.
Parameters for context sharing with viewlets lists the parameters related to context sharing for viewlets and indicates which viewlets the parameters apply to. Setting the value to true enables context sharing.
