Using the Explorer tree


The Explorer pane lists all the available Explorers for a specific view. Each Explorer contains an Explorer tree.

Each Explorer tree organizes active viewer sessions in a tree structure:

  • Each node in the tree can be associated with a viewer session. 
  • An administrator can assign actions to the nodes.
  • From the Explorer tree, you can execute the assigned actions on demand. 
  • A viewer can display multiple Explorers to facilitate switching between them.

Important

  • If a node is associated with a session and the session has priority messages, a badge next to the node displays the number of priority messages.
