The following sections describe the most common applications included in System
Manager.
3.1 Navigation Bar
The Navigation bar displays at the top of System Manager [➙ 18] and allows you
to navigate the system without having to make selections in System Browser. It
contains a set of icons, and a Breadcrumbs path that shows your current location
as a series of links separated by arrows. The Back and Forward icons let you
quickly return to recently-viewed selections. The History icon displays a list of your
20 most recently viewed selections, and the Favorite location icon jumps to a user-
selectable view.
Breadcrumbs
The Breadcrumbs path in the Navigation bar functions like a condensed version of
System Browser, without the search capabilities. The selections you make in the
Breadcrumbs area are reflected in System Browser. The opposite is also true: the
selections you make in System Browser are reflected in the Breadcrumbs area.
