Header Frame; Navigation Frame - Novell IMANAGER 2.7.3 - ADMINISTRATION Administration Manual

3.1.1 Header Frame

The Header frame is a largely static frame that occupies the top of the iManager interface. It
provides icons with which you can access iManager's various views. A view is a combination of
Navigation and Content frames that deliver specific management functionality. For example, the
default Roles and Tasks view lets you select a given task in the Navigation frame, and then perform
the selected task in the Content frame.

The iManager Header frame includes the following icons:
Home: Returns the Content frame to its default view (as in Figure 3-1).
Exit: Logs you out of eDirectory.
Roles and Tasks: This view displays all the tasks you are authorized to perform in the
Navigation frame. This is iManager's default view. For more information, see

Content frame.

3.1.2 Navigation Frame

The Navigation frame resides along the left side of the iManager UI. It displays task and
functionality options related to the currently selected view. For example, the default Roles and Tasks
view lists all the tasks your are authorized to perform. Tasks are organized into categories. The list of
categories and tasks varies based on the installed plug-ins and the rights granted to you as an
authenticated iManager user.
