Navigating Through

the Menu Hierarchy

There are two ways of moving through the menu hierarchy:

Move down the hierarchy by selecting intermediate menu options, and move back

up the hierarchy by pressing the RETURN (F4/PF04) or EXIT (F3/PF03) key.

Directly access any menu option by explicitly entering its location within the menu

hierarchy. This method is called panel skipping.

Selecting an Option From a

To select an option from a menu, enter the option number or letter in the Select Option

field and press the ENTER key. For example, selecting option M from the NonStop

NET/MASTER MS Primary Menu takes you to User ID Management Services.

Continue selecting options from the submenus until you reach your desired panel.

Directly Accessing Menu

Options—Panel Skipping

Panel skipping provides a fast path through the menu hierarchy. If you know the

hierarchical position of the desired function in relation to the NonStop NET/MASTER

MS Primary Menu (see Figure 1-3), you can bypass the intermediate menus and go

directly to the desired function by explicitly entering its path.

For example, to select User ID Management Services option L (List User Definitions)

from the NonStop NET/MASTER MS Primary Menu, enter the following in the Select

Option field and press the ENTER key:

M.L

To select an option from any panel other than the NonStop NET/MASTER MS

Primary Menu, precede the entry with an equal sign (=). This action brings you back

to the Primary Menu (not displayed) and then proceeds to the indicated option.

For example, to select the System Support Services Display/Update SYSPARMS

option from the OCS screen, enter the following on the OCS command line and press

the ENTER key:

=S.S

Returning to the Previous

Panel—EXIT Key

From most panels, pressing the EXIT (F3/PF03) key returns you to the panel from

which the current panel was invoked.

Returning to the Previous

Menu—RETURN Key

From most panels, pressing the RETURN (F4/PF04) key returns you to the menu from

which the current option was invoked (exceptions are noted in discussions about

particular NonStop NET/MASTER MS options).
