The FilerView interface

The FilerView interface consists of the following main elements: the left frame, the right frame, the title frame, and the Help buttons.

• Left frame

  The left frame contains an expandable list of topics:

  • Most of the categories represent management functions.
  • The Real Time Status category contains choices that launch separate tools that monitor system performance.
  • The Wizards category contains choices that launch separate wizards for system setup, CIFS setup, and vFiler setup.
• Right frame

  If you select the Manage, Configure, or Report functions from the left frame, the right frame changes to display forms that provide information about the system configuration. You can change the system configuration by entering data in the fields or by making selections from lists.

• Title frame

  The title frame contains the name of the function you select from the left frame, followed by the path to the function. For example, if you select Report in the Volumes category, the title frame shows the path as Volumes > Report.

• Help buttons

  Help buttons are situated next to the categories in the left frame and in the title frame. Help provides a description of the function, descriptions of the fields that the function uses, and procedures for tasks you can perform with the function.
