  Figure 8-4.  Document Browse Guide Category Selection Example


The first display in Document Browse lists guide categories
and individual guides. (Scroll down to see the complete list
of guides.)

To list all the guides in one category, select that category,
as End-User Guides is selected in the example.  (You may also
select a category by entering its two-character short name in
the Volume field.)

This changes the display to show only the guides in that
category, as illustrated in Figure 8-5.

Note: You do not have to select a category unless you want to
see the types of guides available, by group.  After the short
names of the guides become familiar, you can request a guide
immediately by typing its short name in the Volume field.

Only the names of the chapters in the PIOM are listed on this
sample screen because the number 1 in the Levels field means
to display only one level of headings from the guide's table
of contents. (This is the level set by default when you start
the browse.)

The second chapter, Planning for the Installation and Use of
CA MICS, is selected on the sample screen. This displays the
major headings in Chapter 2 of the PIOM.

There are three major headings in Chapter 2. The value in the
Levels field is still set to 1, so the display still shows
only those sections that are one level down from the selected
section.

The sample screen shows that the second major heading,
Preparing Your Site for CA MICS, has been chosen. This moves
the display down another level on the next screen and
displays all the headings under Section 2.2.

2.2.1 - List of Tasks

The following tasks must be accomplished in order to prepare
your site for installing and operating CA MICS.  They are
summarized here from the detail in the beginning of this
chapter for your convenience.


    Task 2-1:  Establish a separate SAS library for exclusive
               use by the CA MICS database update process.
               While any level of SAS may be used for
               inquiries into the database, CA MICS is
               extremely sensitive to the version of SAS with
               which the database is updated.

    Task 2-2:  Ensure that the data collection processes in
               place are adequate to support CA MICS.

    Task 2-3:  Task 2-3 is necessary only if you will be
               using the CA MICS VTOC Catalog Analyzer.

From here, you can scroll and read text, as well as find
strings, split the screen, and so on.  When done, use END to
return to the table of contents as it appeared prior to the
browse, another END to return to the guide list, and another
END to return to the primary menu.
