to the object selected in the top portion. An example of this layout is the Status and Logs View.

c.Tree View Layout — with this layout the panel is divided into a left and a right section. The left hand side contains a tree view showing an organizational folder hierarchy and the right side contains a list of objects in the currently selected folder. Examples of this layout are the Jobs and Media View and the Devices View.

6.Status bar — The Status bar displays the current user’s name, the Backup Domain to which the user is logged in, and the name of the machine at which the user is working. An Alert button appears in the lower right corner of the status bar when alerts are generated. This button flashes when there is an issue that requires attention.

Property Pages

Every object in the Data Protector Express catalog has a set of property pages associated with it. Use these property pages to modify settings for an object and to view logs, messages, diagnostics or information that Data Protector Express generates.

Opening Property Pages

Displaying the property page of an object can be accomplished several ways:

Select the object with the mouse or keyboard, and then click Properties on the Command task pane.

Right-click the object to display a context menu, then select Properties.

Select the object, and then select Properties from the File menu.

With the object selected, type Alt-Enter.

TIP: Opening the property page for an object will open a non-modal dialog. You can leave property pages open when you return to working in the main Data Protector Express window and you can have several property pages open at once.

The Property window consists of a...

1.Navigation bar — The navigation bar is located in the top section of the left hand column of window. It contains links to the various groups of properties of the object.

2.Info bar — the info bar contains a summary of the object's most important properties such as current status. It also contains command and control links for runnable jobs.

3.Property pane — the property pane contains the actual properties that belong to the property group selected by the navigation bar.

4.Command bar — the command bar runs along the bottom of the dialog and contains the buttons for committing or cancelling changes made to the object and for dismissing the dialog.
