The administration view of the traditional workplace provides graphical interfaces for most of administrative tasks. Here you can explore it's structure and find general information about the different tasks. To get more detailed information on a single task, please look for special topics on the task.
1 Overview
You get to the administration view by opening the traditional workplace (select "Show workplace" in the page or sitemap editor's context menu) and then choosing "Administration" in the "View" drop-down of the workplace's menu bar.
The main administration view in a default installation looks as follows:
To use the administration view efficiently you should be aware of
- The context specific help. Whenever you hover over a button/link you get a hint on what the link is for. Also when you see question mark signs at input fields, hover over them to see hints in the help box.
- The overview on administrative tasks allows you to easily switch between tasks. This is even more important, since, during a session, the administration view will reopen in the sub-menu you left it.
- The breadcrumb navigation helps you to not lose the overview - in particular for tasks that have more than one submenu.
