Infoblox provides inline editing for certain fields in some tables. You can use this feature to modify data directly in a table instead of going through an editor.
To update information in a table, you must have read/write permission to the data. When you enter or select a new value, the appliance validates the data format before saving the updated data.
To modify data in a table:
From any panel that supports inline editing, double click the row of data that you want to modify. The appliance displays the inline editing editor in the selected row, as shown in the Inline Editing figure.
Depending on the data type, enter the new data in the field or select an item from the drop-down list. Note that some fields are read-only.
Click Save to save the changes, or click Cancel to discard them.
