The navigation section contains two navigation bars—primary and secondary.
Use the primary navigation bar items to open the primary pages (Home, Tools,
Devices, Status, Settings, and Help). These primary navigation choices are
available from every page of the interface. Use the secondary navigation bar to
choose an option available for the current primary item. Options on the secondary
navigation bar change depending on which primary item you select.

Options on the secondary navigation bar give you access to the Management
Appliance features. Your ability to access features depends on your assigned
privilege level. See “ User Privilege Levels ,” on page 23 for information about
privilege levels. See Appendix C for an explanation of privilege levels required to
use various features.
Using Help
The primary navigation bar has two help options, which let you find information
quickly. The Help button opens the Management Appliance help system, which
has three types of navigation—Contents, Index, and Search. Clicking the question
mark “?” displays a context-sensitive help topic describing the current page.
Content Pane
The Content pane ( Figure 9 ) contains information formatted as a links page or as a

sets.
