Navigating the console
When you open the management console you see a list of private (My Collections) and shared (Shared Collections) collections in the list frame. As you select different features in the OpenEdge Management menu bar, the contents of the management console change.
For example, if you click Library, you see the library-related components in the list frame, as shown in Figure 2–4.

If a plus sign (+) precedes a category in the list frame, as shown in Figure 2–4, you can click the plus sign to expand the collapsed category and see its contents. If a minus sign (-) precedes a category, the category has been fully expanded and all its contents are in view. If an empty box precedes a category, the category has no contents.
If you click the plus sign preceding each of the collapsed main Library categories shown in Figure 2–4, the expanded view looks like that shown in Figure 2–5.

When you click a category in the list frame, a list of items in that category appears in the detail frame. For example, if you click Email Action under the Actions category, a list of email actions you can choose from appears, as shown in Figure 2–6.

Actions
A dynamic HTML menu bar, known as the detail menu bar, appears in Figure 2–6. As you navigate throughout the console, you will notice the options available on the menu of certain OpenEdge Management pages differ, depending on where you are in the application. The Parent Folder icon, shown in Figure 2–7, is included in the detail menu bar.

You can click the Parent Folder icon to navigate up a level from the page being shown in the console. In the example shown in Figure 2–6, the parent folder is Actions, so the detail frame would change to display the Actions category's contents, as shown in Figure 2–8.
