Browser-Based Web User Interface Navigation

There are various browser features that make navigation of the Web User Interface easier and faster than
simply using the links provided by the interface's current page.
Note: Do not use browser-based navigation while in the process of making changes to user, group,
shared folder and system settings. The effect would be the same as selecting a link in the page's
navigation bar before completing the change: cancelation of the process and loss of all entries
made in the course of that change.
History
Browsers maintain a history of web sites and pages visited, including the pages of the Web User Interface
site. History makes navigation of the Web User Interface quick and easy. It is accessed by both Internet
Explorer and Firefox with the CTRL+H key combination. A sidebar appears on the left side of the browser
window, listing the browsing history by date. Select Today or a previous day. Then select the site matching
what currently appears in the browser's Address bar following:
https://
If the storage system has a name registered with a DNS server on your network and that name appears in
the Address bar, select the storage system's name in the history sidebar. Otherwise, select the IP address
that matches what is currently displayed in the Address bar.
The history of the chosen item expands upon selection, revealing a list of pages previously visited in that
site. Depending on the browser used, either the pages' titles or addresses are displayed. Selecting the
appropriate title or address opens that specific page.
Back and Forward Buttons
Browsers that access the Web User Interface have Back and Forward buttons in their toolbars. These
toolbar buttons are located in the upper left corner of the browser window and appear as left or right
arrows. These buttons allow quick navigation between pages recently visited; earlier in history (Back
button or left arrow) or after the current page's place in history (Forward button or right arrow).
For example, Alice accessed the System Status page and then selected the navigation bar's Home link. If
she wanted to return to the previous page using the pages' links, she would select the navigation bar's
Advanced link and then the System Status link appearing at left. Using the browser toolbar's Back and
Forward buttons, she could flip back and forth between the System Status and Home pages. Even
handier is remembering the key combinations of ALT+LEFT ARROW for Back and ALT+RIGHT ARROW
for Forward.
