MAI : Primary Menu

The MAI : Primary menu is the principal interface to MAI for privilege class A, B, and C users. Commands can be executed against listed sessions, and session definitions can be modified and created. This section describes the menu in detail and discusses the actions that can be applied to session definitions in the session list.

The following information is displayed on the MAI : Primary Menu (first panel):

---ID---

The MAI : Primary Menu consists of two panels. To see the second panel, press the Right function key (F10).

The second panel of the MAI : Primary menu shows the function keys that are assigned for the session and includes the following information:
