Introducing Data Protector

Using the Data Protector User Interface

Graphical User Interface

The Data Protector graphical user interface (GUI) uses features such as buttons and text boxes to enhance usability. Whenever possible, drop-down lists are provided to allow you to select from a list instead of typing in your selection. In addition, a comprehensive online Help system provides information about each window and each task.

Depending on the user rights, you can either use the GUI to access the complete Data Protector functionality or to access only specific contexts.

For more information on user rights, refer to “Data Protector User

Rights” on page 83.

For more information on Data Protector contexts, refer to “Context List” on page 9.
