Understanding the

Work Area

Work Area

The Emma work area consists of a Connector overveiw frame, a Connector Details

frame, a service Details frame, a Main menu, a Toolbar and a status bar.

Note: 

 If you start Emma for the first time or there are no registered connectors,

the Service details section shows instructions on how to use Emma.

In the picture below the user has registered connectors, selected a service and

identified a device.

A. Main menu: The content in the Main menu can differ depending on your user

permissions.
B. Toolbar: Shows a number of shortcuts to some functions.
C. Connector Overview: A list of all registered connectors.
D. Connector Details: If you click on a connector in Connector Overview, information

about it and the connected device/phone is shown here.
E. Status Bar: This area contains information about devices being connected and

network status (working online/offline and peer-to-peer status).
F. Service Details: Either this area shows general instructions on using Emma or a list

of available services. When running a service, information about the progress will be

shown here.

Changing the Work Area

You can change the look of the work area by hiding parts of it and by moving the

frame boundaries between Connector Overview, Connector Details and Service

Details.
