User Interface Elements

The main window of Global Process Manager consists of the following elements:

• Menu Bar (1)
• Commands Toolbar (2)
• Console Tree (3)
• Content View Pane (4)
• Status Bar (5)

Menu Bar

The Menu Bar consists of four menus:

• File – contains the Options and Exit commands
• View – lets you set the view options for the current View Pane. The view settings are remembered for each View Pane. In this menu, you can also toggle the visibility of In-Project Folders and to group by export status
• Action – groups all of the right-click menu commands for a given View Pane. Note that some commands can only be executed under certain conditions (e.g., an item must be selected). This menu may also include additional actions not available in the right-click menu
• Help – using this button, you can access this Help (Help), display the Welcome Screen (useful for new users and those who want to learn about changes in the latest version), and access other important information (About)

Commands Toolbar

The Commands Toolbar contains some of the most commonly used icons for easier access. The toolbar can be dragged to a suitable position or left floating.

Console Tree

The Console Tree lists all of the Registered Servers and provides access to all of the items stored on them (as Registered Server sub-nodes). The view cannot be changed, but the entire Console Tree pane can be re-docked or left floating. Right-clicking the Console Tree title bar provides access to these options.

Content View Pane

The Content View Pane is a workspace for elements selected on the Console Tree, such as Projects, Items, Packages, Package Actions, and Cluster Nodes. The way in which they are displayed can be customized using the options available from the View menu.

The contents can be sorted and filtered depending on the type of items you are currently viewing. When the filter is active, the filter icon will change to indicate its availability. When a Project is selected, additional tabs appear in the Content View pane such as Item Dependencies, Generated Packages, Deployment Status, and Actions History.

Status Bar

The Status bar contains information about the application's status and keeps you informed of the current Registered Server connection status. If connected to a server, it displays the server name and the user you are logged in as. The Status bar also contains the status of the Sign off on deployment and Prototype deployment. These are related to the 21-CFR-Part-11 Compliance.
