ADMINISTRATION TOOLS


Navigating Domino Administrator
The user interface for the IBM® Lotus® Domino® Administrator is divided into four panes. Clicking in one pane dynamically updates information in other panes.

Server pane

The server pane displays the servers in the domain, grouped in different views. For example, you can view all servers in the domain or view them by clusters or networks. To "pin" the server pane open, click the pin icon at the top of the server pane.

Task pane

The tasks pane provides a logical grouping of administration tasks organized by tabs. Each tab includes all the tasks associated with a specific area of administration. For example, to manage the files located on a particular server, select a server and click the Files tab.

Results pane

The appearance of the results pane changes, based on the task you are performing. For example, the results pane may display a list of files, as on the Files tab, or an active display of real-time processes and statistics, as on the Server - Monitoring tab.

Tools pane

The tools pane provides additional functions associated with a selected tab. For example, from the Files tab you can check disk space and perform tasks associated with files.

Window tabs

Use window tabs to switch from one open window to another in the Domino Administrator. Every time you open a database or a document, a new window tab appears beneath the main menu bar.

Domains

You can access the servers in each domain that you administer. Click a domain to open the server pane.

Bookmark bar

The Bookmark bar organizes bookmarks. Each icon on the Bookmark bar (running down the left edge of the Domino Administrator window) opens a bookmark or a list of bookmarks, which can include Web browser bookmarks.
