Chapter 1 Getting Started with Security Manager
Understanding Basic Security Manager Interface Features
Manage Menu (Configuration Manager)
The Manage menu in Configuration Manager contains commands that start tools that run in a window
separate from the Security Manager main interface. This enables you to access features without closing
the page from which you are currently working.
Show/Hide Navigation
Window
Displays or hides the navigation window on the open map. See Using
the Navigation Window, page 34-4.
Undock/Dock Map View Undocks the maps window, allowing you to use other features while
keeping the map open. If the window is already undocked, the Dock
Map View command reattaches the window to the primary Security
Manager window. See Understanding the Map View Main Page,
page 34-2.
