Understanding CMS

•

The feature bar shows the features available for the devices in your cluster. By default, the feature 
bar is in standard mode. In this mode, the feature bar is always visible, and you can reduce or 
increase the width of the feature bar. In autohide mode, the feature bar appears only when you move 
the cursor to the left edge of the CMS workspace.

–

To enable the feature bar, click CMS > Feature Bar, and select Standard Mode.

–

To hide the feature bar, click CMS > Feature Bar, and select Autohide Mode.
