Altiris eXpress Helpdesk Consoles

Helpdesk Worker Console

Default Page Description

The Helpdesk worker console displays the Work report as the default page. The left-hand menu page is divided into three sections, Commands, Common tasks and the Item and Count section. The first two sections consist of links in cells that display additional menus ("fly-out" menus) when the cursor hovers over them. Cells with a right-pointing arrow will open to display the additional commands. Clicking on the link instead of hovering will execute the first command in the fly-out.

Each menu link and its fly-out menus (if any) is described below:
