Control Area

Tabs

Selecting a menu item in the Control Center opens its respective menu and displays its control interface. The control interface has tabs located at the top of the page of most menus in the Control Center. An image of such tabs can be seen in the image below:

A selected tab is highlighted in a dark blue color.

 

Other places where such tabs can be found are in various dialogs of the Control Center.

 

Filter Headers

Many control interfaces have lists of items, such as a list of completed jobs. These lists can be filtered through the use of filters found in the header, which is displayed above a list. An example of a filter header is shown in the image below.

 

In this example, the filters found under the Completed jobs tab are shown, where filtering by Application, Jobtype, Queues, Date from & Until, and Jobname is possible. Different filters will be available in the various menus of the Control Center. Most filters are self explanatory, but additional explanation is given on the help pages.

If the AutoRefresh option is not enabled, the Refresh button needs to be used to refresh the list of items.
