Console layout

This topic describes the layout of the user interface for Integrated Solutions Console.

See Navigating the console for instructions on how to use the console controls.

Banner

Displays a common image across all Integrated Solutions Console installations. The banner includes a greeting to the user who is logged in and links to log out of the console and to open console help.

Navigation tree

Lists the tasks available in the console. Tasks are grouped into organizational nodes that represent categories of tasks, for example, Servers, or Applications. The organizational nodes can be nested in multiple levels.

The tasks shown are only those for which the user has access. When you click a task in the navigation, a page is displayed in the work area containing one or more modules for completing the task. Use the View selection list at the top of the navigation area to modify the list of tasks according to your preferences. You can organize the tasks as follows:

All tasks

This shows all tasks in the console. Tasks are grouped into organizational nodes, for example, Guided activities, Servers, or Applications.

My tasks

This shows only the tasks that you have added to the view. This list is initially empty, but provides a link to the My Tasks module. Use My Tasks to add and remove from the My Tasks list in the navigation.

Product selection

Selecting a product name shows only the tasks for that particular product, for example, WAS.

Work area

When you launch a page, the content of the page is displayed in the work area. If you have not launched any pages, the Welcome page is displayed in the work area. A page contains one or more console modules that are used to perform operations. Each console module has its own navigation controls. Some pages include a control to close the page and return to the Welcome page.
