Figure 10 GUI layout
The object tree contains hierarchically organized objects. You can browse the hierarchy by clicking the expand/collapse buttons besides the objects. Expanding a subtree does not select the object at the subtree origin. To select an object, click it.
The right pane shows the property page with details and status information for the selected object. For a container object (object containing other objects), the right pane displays a list of its child objects. You can choose the preferred sort order by clicking on the column titles. The properties page displays properties of the currently selected object in the object tree. If the property page shows an object list,
The menu bar contains menus that provide access to the FSE Management Console actions. Some of the actions also have corresponding shortcuts on the toolbar.
The toolbar is located under the menu bar and contains icons that can be used as shortcuts to the most often used actions.
The status bar is located at the bottom of the FSE Management Console client window and shows the information related to the currently selected item in the object tree.
There are two different modes in which the object properties displayed in the GUI are updated:
•Online update mode: In this update mode, when the displayed properties are changed outside the FSE Management Console, the FSE Management Console server notifies the FSE Management Console client about the changes and the client refreshes the display. The refresh interval depends on the FSE Management Console server’s polling interval, defined by the GUI_POLLINTERVAL configuration parameter.
This is the default update mode.
