Browser interface overview
The BMC browser interface groups similar tasks for easy navigation and workflow. These tasks are
organized under high-level tabs across the top of the BMC interface. These tabs are always visible
and include Option, Properties, Configuration, Sessions, Update, Utilities, Power control, Thermal,
System event log, VKVM&VMedia. Each high-level BMC tab has a menu on the left side of the
interface with various options. This menu changes every time you select a different high-level tab,
displaying the options available from that tab. Each menu option displays a page title, which is a
description of the information or settings available on that page. This page title might not reflect the
name displayed on the menu option. Assistance for all BMC pages is available from BMC Help. Links
on each BMC page provide summary information about the features of BMC and helpful information
to optimize its operation. To access page specific help, click the help link (Help) on the top and right
side of the browser window.
