User Guide for CiscoWorks Common Services

Each Application Panel in the CWHP serves as a top-level launch point for all
Common Services applications installed on the local/remote server.
Applications appear in the CWHP in three columns.
By default, only the first level items are displayed when you login. These first
level items are in collapsed mode. Lower level navigations are displayed only if
you manually expand a first level item.
The title of each application panel displays the application name and it serves as
a link to the relevant application homepage.
Application tasks are displayed in a hierarchical manner. When you select a task
from the hierarchy, it launches the application homepage in a new window.
If the corresponding application homepage already exists for some other task, the
window for this task is focussed, instead of creating a new window.
To launch the URL associated with the item in the popup window, click on the
label.
CiscoWorks applications from other servers can be made to display in the same
way as CiscoWorks applications from the local server.
For this, you should import registration details of CiscoWorks applications
installed on other servers. This allows you to navigate various CiscoWorks
applications from same or different bundles (such as LMS, RWAN, VMS), from
a single homepage.
You should authenticate yourself before using applications from other server
(once for each server, for each session), even if you are authenticated on the local
server.
Common Services will not do the license check. Applications need to authenticate
and do the license check.
