The SAM-QFS Manager browser interface pages are divided into three sections:
Banner
Navigation tree
Content pane
The banner displays the name of the application and other status information, such as the last time data was updated in the browser interface. The navigation tree contains the server menu and a list of all of the file system content pages. The content page contains the currently selected page.
You can navigate through the SAM-QFS Manager browser interface as you would through a typical web page. Use the navigational tree on the left side of the content pane to move to different pages throughout the application. Click a link in the content pane to view more detailed information about that selected item. Do not use the browser’s Back button to return to a previous browser interface page. Instead, click the link that you want to return to in the navigational tree.
In addition, you can place your mouse over a portion of the browser interface to display a tool tip, which is a line of text that describes that portion of the page.
The banner spans the top of the application. The following table describes the elements in the banner.
