Online User Interface

Until now we have seen how Control-O automates console management and we have discussed a number of the available facilities which enhance the functionality of Control-O.

However, as mentioned earlier, Control-O provides an online user interface which enables the user to

• interface with most of the previously described facilities
• intervene in the processes of console management
• immediately access up-to-date information on console automation processing

The online user interface is provided through online facilities that are accessed through the IOA Primary Option menu.

Certain online facilities are unique to Control-O, and other facilities are shared by many or all INCONTROL products.

All IOA and Control-O Online facilities are described in detail in Online Facilities. They are outlined briefly on the following pages.

Note: Your INCONTROL administrator can limit the options displayed on a user-by-user basis, and can alter option numbers and customize option descriptions. Product-supplied default options are discussed in this overview.
