Navigation for CA Clarity PPM contains the following changes:
The CA Clarity PPM main menu has moved from its traditional place as a left navigation pane to a new overhead fly-out menu. This provides more workspace for the application. The menu contains the same selections and selection placements found in CA Clarity PPM v12.1.1.
Menu names are now Home (the user menu), Administration (administrator's menu), and Favorites.
Hotkeys for the menu system are: Ctrl+Alt+h (Home), Ctrl+Alt+a (Administration), Ctrl+Alt+f (Favorites).
This new menu is similar to browser Favorites. It allows a user to create and store links to specific pages for easy access.
The history button preserves a record of recent pages visited. You can open the list of pages from the button and return to any listed.
This button returns you to pages visited one a time in reverse order.
Upgrade action: None
The Learn link for CAPA (CA Productivity Accelerator) in the upper right corner of the browser is dynamic. If the CAPA settings are not defined in Clarity System Administration (CSA), the Learn link does not display.
Upgrade action: (Required for CAPA) Define the settings for CAPA in Clarity System Administration. For information on how to set up CAPA, see the documentation provided by CAPA when that feature is purchased.
The buttons that appear on the majority of CA Clarity PPM pages have been standardized. The following table shows the new and old button names.

The Actions menu that allowed you to select Edit Mode or Display Mode has been removed. To edit a cell in a list or grid, you click in the cell. If the cell can be edited, it activates so that you can edit. As changes are made, a red flag appears in the cell's upper left corner to indicate the changes have not yet been saved. You can move from one cell to the next, editing as needed before you save.
You can also toggle between display and edit by pressing the Enter key.
Upgrade action: None
The Display as Pop-up check box option within grids and list for the Link field setting has changed. In CA Clarity PPM v12.1.1, the option displayed a new browser window over the old window when the link was clicked. For CA Clarity PPM v13, a modal navigational pop-up displays over the original browser window.
Upgrade action: None
The Font Settings options under Account Settings has been removed. To control the size of the font on a page, use Ctrl+ and Ctrl-.
