Panes

Panes

In general, panes have four primary parts: the banner, toolbar, tree menu, and content pane.

Banner

Along the top of the page; includes the home button (Fortinet logo), tile menu, ADOM menu (when enabled), admin menu, notifications, and help button.

Tree menu

On the left side of the screen; includes the menus for the selected pane.

Content pane

Contains widgets, lists, configuration options, or other information, depending on the pane, menu, or options that are selected. Most management tasks are handled in the content pane.

Toolbar

Directly above the content pane; includes options for managing content in the content pane, such as Create New and Delete.

The Device Manager pane includes a quick status bar on the top of the content pane that provides quick information on the state of the devices in the current device group. Clicking a status updates the content pane to display the relevant devices. See Firewall Devices for more information.

To switch between panes, either select the home button to return to the home page, or select the tile menu then select a new tile.
