Navigating within HP SIM, Virtualization Manager, and Capacity Advisor
Avoid using your browser Back and Forward buttons (except when navigating in the online
help). When you use these buttons, the user interface cannot tell that you have changed to a
different view. This can cause problems, including incorrectly displaying which objects are
selected in the current view, losing information input into screen fields, and cancelling operations.
Instead, use the navigation links, buttons, and tabs provided by the user interfaces within the
browser screen area.
