Graphical View Interactions

The graphical view allows you to interact with the logical view or the physical view of your enterprise using sliders, icons, and menus.

The graphical view supports the following interactions:

Choose between Logical and Physical View from the drop-down list located at the left hand side of the display.
Use the slider located on the right side of the display to zoom in and out of the current view.
Use the Refresh button to update the data for the objects being displayed.
Use breadcrumbs along the top center to navigate from drilled into objects back up to a higher level view.
The mouse wheel zooms in and out centered on the cursor's location.
The large black gray squares with arrows, located towards the bottom of the screen, scroll in the direction of the arrow and appear when some object is out of view.
Click the button to hide the browser controls and to display over the entire screen. Press the ESC key to exit the full screen mode.
Click to drill into the selected object.
The indicators at the top of object boxes indicate the status of the object:
- - running
- - unknown
- - stopped
Re-size the boxes to display detailed information.
In the logical view, use the Application Template tab located at the bottom of the screen to drag applications templates to environments to create applications.
In the physical view, use the Resource Templates tab located at the bottom of the screen to drag resource templates to a node to create a resource instance or a host to create a resource instance on each node in the host.
Use the services (rendered in green) and references (rendered in pink) in the logical view to wire together applications or environments.
- The Wire option from the object menu allows you to pick targets from a list.
- The FreeWire option from the object menu allows you to drag and drop.

Menus

When you select an object, a menu of actions that can be performed on the object becomes available. The menu options depend on the selected object.
