Server date and time
The current time of the machine running the Rapid Recovery Core service
appears at the top right of the Core Console. When you hover your mouse over
the time, the server date also appears. This is the date and time recorded by
the system for events such as logging, scheduling, and reporting. For example,
when applying protection schedules, the time displayed on the Core Console is
used. This is true even if the time zone is different on the database server or on
the client machine where the browser is running.
Icon bar
The icon bar includes a graphic representation for major functions accessible in
the Core Console. It appears on the left side of the user interface (UI), directly
below the branding area. Clicking the appropriate item in the icon bar takes you
to the corresponding section of the UI where you can manage that function.
Each of the icons in the icon bar is further described in the
table.
Left navigation area
The left navigation area appears on the left side of the user interface, below the
icon bar.

Context-sensitive help
From the Rapid Recovery Core Console, each time
you click the Help icon (a blue question mark), a
resizable browser window opens with two frames.
The left frame contains a navigation tree showing
topics from the Dell Rapid Recovery User Guide.
The right frame displays content for the selected
help topic. At any given time, the help navigation
tree expands to show the location in its hierarchy
for the selected topic. You can browse through
all User Guide topics using this context-sensitive
help feature. Close the browser when you are done
browsing topics.
You can also open help from the Help option of the
Help menu.
