DSM Explorer

The DSM Explorer is the main administration interface for Client Automation, available on Windows operating environments.

The DSM Explorer bar on the left hand side offers four different views: Tree View, History, Bookmarks, and Search. The tree view is the default viewing mode, which provides the main navigation to the various features of the DSM Explorer.

When selected in the tree view, many tree nodes provide lists in the right hand view.

Many tree nodes also provide a graphical web-based presentation. One example of this is the main portal, which provides a system-wide overview of Client Automation through four portlets:

Main Features

Provides access to the main areas of the DSM Explorer, such as Computers and Users, Software, Jobs, and so on.

System Status

Quick Start

You can customize the System Status and Quick Start portlets to your needs.

A tutorial is available in the right pane of the DSM Explorer. The tutorial contains information about navigating the DSM Explorer and getting started with the most common tasks. The tutorial can be enabled or disabled using the DSM Explorer function View, Tutorial Bar.
