2.2.4 Navigation Bar Reference
The Navigation bar displays at the top of System Manager 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 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.
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 with the current selection highlighted with a checkmark and displayed
in the Primary pane. The Favorite location icon jumps to a user-selectable
view; when you set a favorite location the system will store it and use it as the initial
selection when you first open System Manager. When switching-over to a new
user, that user's Favorite location will be used as the initial selection.
