Metrics Collection Management View
The Metrics Collection Management view is used to configure the metrics collect by agent. VMware agent has collect total 99 metrics from vCenter, but some metrics are not used to VMware dashboard and relate products (Capacity Director, Optimizer and so on), less metrics collection can reduce the pressure of collection from vCenter and improve performance for agent on large environment. This view is for this purpose and user can disable the collection of these metrics at this view.

Quick-View
The Quick-View displays summary information about the objects you select from the Virtual Environment Overview, which is also available on the Virtual Environment Summary dashboard.
The Quick-View is made up of two embedded views—the Object Tree view and the Object Summary view. Depending on what is selected in the Object Tree view, the Object Summary view, located at the right of the Quick-View, displays summary information for either a single object or for a group of objects of a particular type.
The Quick-View appears in the middle of the display area.
Resource Pool Summary view
The Resource Pool Summary view shows the overall resource utilization and the amounts of system resource consumption for a physical resource pool.
