Workspace

The large area on the right side of the navigation tree is the HP Web Jetadmin workspace. This area changes depending on the View and Navigation tree elements selected. In many cases, the focus of this area can be a summary of a feature space. You can obtain this summary by selecting any top-level element within the navigation tree. Elements with the + symbol next to them are top-level elements that invoke a summary focus. An exception to this is the All Devices list. When All Devices is selected in the left navigation pane, the device list is displayed in the workspace. The workspace can also reflect specific feature functionality. Whenever a sub-level element (generally one that has no + symbol next to it) is selected, the workspace reflects specific functionality. For an example, see Discovery History on page 153.

Wizards

●Need Info Wizard

Wizards provide a collection of steps in the required order for a user to accomplish a task successfully. Every wizard is launched in a window separate from the main application by using many different controls including right-click menu items and task modules. Many of the wizards in HP Web Jetadmin are launched from multiple controls in different parts of the application. An example of a wizard is Create Group (Create a New Device Group on page 114). After your start the wizard, you are prompted for the group type, the group name, and the group members; after you identify that information, you can continue with the displayed steps until the task is successfully completed. Confirmation and results pages provide both a safeguard and additional details about the task.

Need Info Wizard

The Need Info wizard is displayed when you try to perform a device configuration but provide incorrect sensitive configuration information.

Some configuration items require additional information, such as an existing password, before setting the new configuration. If you fail to enter this required information correctly, the Need Info wizard is displayed, providing an opportunity to enter the correct information. The wizard displays one or more devices on the left, and prompts you for the required information on the right. You can only change the required information. All other information remains the same as originally entered.

For each device and each set of required information, you must click either Set or Skip to complete the wizard. You can select one or more devices in the list, enter the required information, and click Set. If you do not know the existing passwords or required information, you can click Skip. If you click Skip, that configuration item will not be set on that device.

When you click Finish, HP Web Jetadmin tries to complete the device configuration again. If additional information is required, the Need Info wizard is displayed again.
