Chapter 6. The User Interface

The AP GUI Main Page

With WinClient AP, and Java Client AP access, once users log in (see Logging In, page 49), the GUI Main Page comes up:

The GUI Main Page is similar to that of the Web Browser. The differences between them are as follows:

1.The AP GUI version doesn’t have a menu bar below the tab bar; it has a series of tabs like a notebook, instead. Like the Web Browser interface, however, the makeup of the tabbed notebook changes depending on the items selected on the main Tab Bar and in the Sidebar.

2.There is a hidden Control Panel at the upper or lower center of the screen that becomes visible when you mouse over it. (The default is at the upper center of the screen.)
