About the WEBppliance interface layout

The WEBppliance for Linux interface displays a navigation bar on the left, a menu bar at the top, and a workspace window. You will use the workspace window for all of your WEBppliance tasks, unless WEBppliance specifically states that activating a feature opens a new window.

About WEBppliance informational icons

WEBppliance for Linux uses icons for two purposes. The first purpose is to represent the status of an item (for example, to show that the server is running) or to represent different applications and service options available to you. These icons are informational only. To quickly find out what application or service the icon represents, move your mouse cursor slowly over the icon to read the popup text.

The second purpose is to represent an action you can perform in WEBppliance. For example, WEBppliance may use an icon to represent removing an item from a list. These icons are always found in the Actions column of the WEBppliance feature window. Click the icon to perform the action it represents.
