5.1 Navigating Roles and Tasks

Navigating iManager's tasks is a straight-forward process that includes the following general steps:
1 (Navigation frame) Open the category that contains the desired task.
2 (Navigation frame) Select the desired task from the category's list of tasks.
3 (Content frame) Provide the necessary information to complete the task. When applicable, this
includes specifying those objects to which the task is applied.
For information about selecting objects to which the task will apply, see

4 (Content frame) Click OK to perform the task.

5.1.1 Selecting and Filtering Objects

iManager provides options, selectable in the Content frame, for locating the desired objects.
