Fathom menu bars

The management console supports two menu bars: main menu and detail menu bar.

Main menu bar

The main menu bar always appears at the top of management console. Use the main menu bar to select from various menu categories. Figure 2–1 shows the main menu bar.

Clicking a menu category changes the content that displays in the list frame and in the detail frame to allow you to perform tasks associated with that category. Throughout this manual, all procedures describe how to perform tasks using this menu bar. See the "Using the main menu bar for OpenEdge server tasks" section for more information about the OpenEdge tasks you can perform.

Detail menu bar

The detail menu bar appears at the top of the detail frame of the Fathom Management console to support specific tasks.

For example, Figure 2–2 shows the detail menu bar that appears on the My Collections Home Default page when you click My Fathom on the main menu bar.

The Collection and View detail menu options allow you to access specific activities associated with setting up and managing collections; these options supplement the other main menu bar options.

Figure 2–3 shows another example of the detail menu bar. All the options on this menu bar display when you select a resource-, library-, reports-, or jobs-related category from the list frame. (Figure 2–3 specifically shows the detail menu bar that appears on the detail frame when you click the OpenEdge resource category in the list frame.)

The detail menu bar displayed in Figure 2–3 supports many of the same options available from the main menu bar; due to its drop-down menu-driven design, the detail menu is an alternative way to access Fathom options more quickly.

Figure 2–4 shows an example of the detail menu options that appear when you select Library New.

For more details about either of these menu bars and how to navigate in the Fathom Management console, see the appropriate section of the Resource Monitoring Guide.
