  2. Drill down through providers in the Inventory Browser. A tab that displays the names of the underlying objects opens.
  3. In the tab, click an object name. The properties of the object display in a new tab. The specific properties vary by type of object.

To browse through the Inventory on a previous date:

  2. Click the All Resources tab. The Time Machine control appears.
  3. Use the calendar tool to set the Time Machine to a previous date. The Inventory Browser reflects the state of the Inventory on that date.
