Product View Pane
The function of the Product View pane changes according to which tab of
the Properties pane is open:
Policy tab - In the Product View pane, you can set the value of a
policy variable. All modifications affect the selected policy domain
or host. There is a predefined editor for each type of policy
variable. The editor is displayed when you select the variable
type in the Policy tab. Some subtrees, tables, and leaf nodes
might have special custom editors. These editors customize
F-Secure Policy Manager Console for each installed product.
There are also Restriction Editors, which open within the Product
View pane or open as a separate dialog box.
Status tab - In the Product View pane, you can view (1)
"settings", which are the local modifications reported by the host,
and (2) statistics.
Alerts tab - When an alert is selected in the Alerts tab, details of
the alert are displayed in the Product View pane.
Reports - When a report is selected in the Reports tab, details of
the report are displayed in the Product View pane.
Installation - In the Product View pane, you can view and edit
installation information.
The traditional F-Secure Policy Manager Console MIB tree contains all
the settings/operations (Policy) and local setting/statistics (Status) in a
product component specific MIB tree. There is also an optional simplified
GUI view available. Most F-Secure products already define these new
style interfaces, which offer the most important items found in the MIB
tree in a much more user friendly way. It is still possible to define policies
and view status using the MIB tree like view, but in most cases the new
Product Views are enough. Using both MIB tree and Product Views
simultaneously is possible, because Product View simply links to the data
found also in the MIB tree.
The F-Secure Management Agent Product View is on the following page
as an example (the same generic operations and functionality are found
in all Product Views).
