Introduction
Software Conventions
NetSight Element Manager’s user interface contains a number of elements which are common to most windows and which operate the same regardless of which window they appear in. A brief description of some of the most common elements appears below; note that the information provided here is not repeated in the descriptions of specific windows and/or functions.
Using the Mouse
This document assumes you are using a
Left Mouse Button
Right Mouse Button
Figure 1-1. Mouse Buttons
For many mouse operations, this document assumes that the left (primary) mouse button is to be used, and references to activating a menu or button will not include instructions about which mouse button to use.
However, in instances in which right (secondary) mouse button functionality is available, instructions will explicitly refer to right mouse button usage. Also, in situations where you may be switching between mouse buttons in the same area or window, instructions may also explicitly refer to both left and right mouse buttons.
Instructions to perform a mouse operation include the following terms:
•Pointing means to position the mouse cursor over an area without pressing either mouse button.
•Clicking means to position the mouse pointer over the indicated target, then press and release the appropriate mouse button. This is most commonly used to select or activate objects, such as menus or buttons.
