Console tree

View image

To navigate the Exclaimer console, a familiar tree structure is used. The Exclaimer console is always at the topmost level, from which any number of parent / child branches (also known as nodes) is displayed. Having selected a node from the tree, the content pane displays information and options that are relevant for that node. Options on the toolbar can be used to quickly navigate between branches within the console tree.

When a branch is selected and changes are made but not saved, the branch is displayed with an asterisk (*) symbol; you will see this at parent level (indicating that the branch contains child branches with unsaved changes) and also at child level:

Unsaved changes

The asterisk symbol is cleared from a branch once its settings have been saved.

The console tree can be hidden or shown using the hide / show console tree button on the toolbar. For quick navigation, use back, forward and up buttons from the toolbar.

Content pane

Having selected a node in the console tree, any information and settings associated with that node are displayed in the content pane. These settings are accessed using a series of content tabs at the top of the pane.

Selection tabs
