Menu Bar: The items in the menu bar open the major sections of the GUI. You can then use the navigation tree to navigate to
specific topics within the selected section.
Search: This is a tool for finding a text string anywhere in the GUI (except in Reports). You can do a global search or confine a
search to a specific part of the GUI.
Log Out: Click to log out of your administrative session. If you are logged in as an admin with super user privileges and there are
virtual systems, you can exit the home system and enter a different virtual system from here.
Navigation Tree: The navigation tree contains all the topics within the GUI section that you chose in the menu bar. Items you
select in the navigation tree appear in the main panel.
Main Panel: The main panel contains the windows in which you set and view various parameters.
Notifications: SmartPath EMS VMA displays a summary of new SmartPath APs, rogue clients, rogue APs, and alarms detected on
managed SmartPath APs here. Clicking a displayed number opens the relevant page with more details.
Some convenient aspects that the SmartPath EMS VMA GUI offers are the ability to clone configurations, apply configurations to
multiple SmartPath APs at once, and sort displayed information. Brief overviews of these functions are presented in the following
sections.

7.2.1 Viewing Reports

When viewing reports that contain graphs (Monitor > Reports ...), you can use your mouse to control what information
SmartPath EMS VMA displays. Moving your mouse over a measurement point on any line in a graph displays the type of data
being reported and the date, time, and value of the measurement. In the graph for active client details (Monitor > Clients > Active
Clients > client_mac_addr) or a report defined as a "New Report Version", moving your mouse over a color box in the legend
hides all other lines except the one matching that color (see Figures 7-10 and 7-11).
