System Manager Workspace

System Manager is a multi-pane window for navigating, monitoring, and controlling

all the components and subsystems of your site. For example, you can inspect

properties and states of objects, send commands, browse the architecture of the

installation, consult floor plan graphics, and so on. A typical layout has a Selection

pane on the left where you can locate and select system objects from a

hierarchical tree view, and multiple working panes on the right that display object

properties, commands, and associated applications based on the current selection.

1 Selection pane. Typically contains System Browser, for locating and selecting system

objects in a hierarchical tree view. A drop-down menu lets you switch between different

tree views (for example, Management View, Application View, or other customizable

views). Your selection here is propagated to the Primary pane on the right, and to the

Contextual pane below it.

At the bottom of this pane, the Recently Viewed stacked tab lets you access the recent

views navigation option. This lets you return to a previously visited view in the Primary

pane.
