Description
Provides operations categorized under menus such as File, Edit, View, Grid,
Server, Windows, and Help.
The File menu lets you save any changes you've made or exit the
console.
The Edit menu lets cut, copy, and paste items and choose general and
server preferences for console.
The View menu lets you manipulate the display of the different
components of the console and refresh the Explorer and Workspace
panels.
The Actions menu lets you launch specific tools that create and delete
users or user groups, computing resources, jobs, policies, and
computed facts.
The Server menu lets you start a local server, log in to the server, create
and display logs for logged in servers, log out from the server, and shut
down the server.
The Windows menu lets you select console windows to display when
you have more than one console window open. You can open the
Explorer panel and the two tabs of the Info panel (<Orchestrator> Log
and Console Output) in their own windows by right-clicking the tab and
choosing Open in window in the pop-up menu.
The Help menu provides access to the About box for the console. It also
provides a link to ZENworks Orchestrator documentation on the Web.
The main toolbar has buttons for executing common tasks. The basic tasks
are Go Back, Go Forward, Refresh the view, Hide or Show the Explorer
Panel, Cut, Copy, Paste, and Save changes in workspace view and Open the
Find Dialog.
The toolbar also includes buttons that open monitoring views for Jobs,
Resources, and Users.
To the far left of the toolbar, a pinwheel icon indicates when the console is
busy.
The Explorer panel displays a hierarchical tree. The tree lets you navigate to
different objects; you can click items in the tree to see their details. For
example, you can display computing resources for a selected grid. When you
click Computing Resources in the tree, its details appear in the Workspace
panel with a list of active computing resources. You can edit the Computing
Resource attributes in the workspace panel.
The Workspace panel displays a detailed view for an item you select in the
Explorer panel. For example, if you select a computing resource under
physical in the Explorer panel, the Workspace panel view changes to show
the details for that resource. You can edit the properties of an Orchestrator
object in the views displayed in the Workspace panel.
The Info panel displays a variety of information, such as validation and error
messages, log files, and query results. You can display or hide the Info panel
by clicking the Info panel button in the Status bar.
