User Interface

Use Client Tools to perform discovery and analysis operations on CA GovernanceMinder data. To view the sample data files in Client Tools, open the sample configuration file included with your installation.

Follow these steps:

  1. Start the CA GovernanceMinder Client Tools by clicking the Client Tools icon on your desktop.
  2. Go to File, Open from File.
  3. Browse to the \Sage Demo folder under the installation directory. Select the ConfigWithRoles.cfg file.

    The program opens the.cfg file in the configuration window. When a configuration file is open, three panels are displayed. Each panel shows a different part of the data that comprises a configuration: Users (left panel), Roles (middle panel), and Resources (right panel).

    Note: By default, the configuration window displays three vertical panels. You can change the display mode to vertical panels, tabs, or horizontal panels using the View menu.

  4. You can open several files simultaneously in the main window: configuration files (.cfg), users database (.udb), resources database (.rdb), auditing cards (.aud) and policies (.bpr). The menu bar and toolbar expand to include available options relevant to the type of data files that is active.
