User interface

---

The Management Console has 2 main views: the left pane shows the navigation tree and the right pane shows the result view. Some of the result views may include navigation links that will quickly take you from one view to another if you click them.

Dashboard

The Dashboard view is a general view displayed once the Management Console is started. This view contains most of the tasks you can perform in the console. The Activity displays the total number of messages and files delivered and stored on the server for the entire period and the number of currently connected (online) users. It is possible to start/stop IM service using the Status pane. The view also displays charts that show number of connected (online) users within sent private, group, News messages and file transfers per each day for the last 7-day period.
