Window Layout

The user may now make a selection from the various buttons to perform the desired task. The buttons are arranged in two groups. The row of buttons along the top of the Console window are associated with the various objects with which a user might want to work, such as System, Rulebase, etc. Click one of these buttons causes a second group of buttons to appear down the left-hand side of the Console window. These buttons are associated with various actions that can be carried out on the object selected from the first button group. Example, if the user click

In addition to the buttons there is a menu bar. In general, the options on the menu bar mirror those available through the buttons mentioned above.

This button activates the Status dialog, which reports the status of the MDM-RE servers, the Rulebase and the database associated with the current system.

This option will display the dialog containing the current environment of the client. This is the same dialog as the one presented when the Client is first started. The user may make any required changes to the environment variables.
