Tree view considerations
• Only items a user is authorized to access appear in the Sidebar tree view.
• A plus (+) sign in front of an item means that there are additional items nested inside. Click the
plus sign to expand the view and show the nested items.
• The plus sign changes to a minus sign (-) when an item is expanded. Click the minus sign to
collapse the view and hide the nested items.
• For devices, if the device is on line, its icon is in color; if it is off line, its icon is gray.
Note: Users can configure the way devices and ports display in the Sidebar tree view.
See “User Preferences” on page 28, for details.
Interactive display panel
Overview
The Interactive Display Panel (also referred to as the main panel) is your main work area. The screens
that appear reflect your menu choices and Sidebar item selection. The reason it is called an interactive
display panel, is that in addition to displaying the contents of your menu choices, it is also a work area
where you can make configuration settings and perform actions on selected devices.
