Navigate the InfoAsset Manager interface

Step-by-step guide

The InfoAsset Manager workspace offers intuitive navigation and flexibility, featuring a configurable interface that can be adjusted to your preferred way of working.

The InfoAsset Manager interface.

The menu bar at the top of the interface organizes options by functionality and includes menus such as Network and Reports.

The menu bar highlighted in red, with the Reports menu expanded.

Toolbars are typically anchored at the top of the window and provide easy access to common functions. They can be customized by changing their contents, position, and visibility.

The Main Window is the large area between the toolbars and status bar and includes several different parts. The content and layout are configurable, but it defaults to the arrangement below.

The Main Window of the InfoAsset Manager interface, with the Explorer Window on the left, the GeoPlan in the middle, and the Flag Window on the right.

On the left is the Explorer Window, a hierarchical representation of the data within the current database. Use the tabs to display other windows in this location. For example, the Properties tab displays the Object Properties Window, which shows the property sheet for a selected network object.

The middle area is the GeoPlan Window, which shows a geographical representation of the network. This view can be displayed over the top of a map or other additional data.

All toolbars and some windows, such as the Explorer Window, can be docked to any side of the main window that does not already contain a toolbar or menu bar.

A window or toolbar can also be undocked by dragging it to float within or outside of the application window. To reposition a docking window, drag its title bar.

More information can be accessed directly within InfoAsset Manager by expanding the Help menu and selecting Help topics.

In a zoomed-in view of the menu bar, the Help menu expanded, with Help topics selected and called out with a red arrow.

Alternatively, press F1 to display the corresponding help topic for the currently active interface element.
