Using the CA Configuration Automation User Interface › CA Configuration Automation UI Overview › Management Panel

Management Panel

To complete most day-to-day configuration management operations, use the Management panel.

To create, view, and manage objects of the relevant type, use the following tabs on the Management panel:

• Services
• Servers
• Software
• Network
• Blueprints
• Compliance
• Remediation
• Jobs
• Log
• Reports

Each management tab page contains a table that lists the objects that are defined for that page. You can add objects to the tables manually or as the result of a discovery operation. You can import the objects from another application or the CA Configuration Automation installation program can install them as predefined data.

Except for the Reports tab, all management tabs contain a Filter pane with which to filter so the table displays only the selected objects. For information about creating filters, see Filter Table Views.

Most of the management tabs also contain the following drop-down lists from which you can select management actions:

Select Actions

Contains the options for running, managing, exporting, and deleting objects and operations.

Table View

Contains the options for displaying the default table view or the custom views you create.

Table Actions

Contains the options for creating or importing objects (servers, services, and so on), and the following common tasks:

• Export to Excel
• Print
• Configure Table View

The Table Action drop-down list on every tab page lists the common tasks. For information about the common tasks, see Common Table Actions.

For more information about the Management panel, see the section that corresponds to the relevant tab.
