Overview of the TrueSight console

The navigation pane provides access to the available options in the TrueSight console. As you reduce the size of the browser or when you display the console on a mobile, the navigation disappears. You can access it at any time from the navigation menu. The following image shows all of the options available on the console, but only administrators can access every option.

The navigation pane list depends on the components registered with the TrueSight Presentation Server.

Regardless of your current task, the header portion of the user interface provides the common information identified in the following illustration.
