Navigation Pane

The Navigation Pane is an area of the interface in CDM that you can use to select the items that you want to work with. It is a narrow area at the side of your computer screen.

The title and content of the Navigation Pane depends on the choices that you have made in the interface. For example, if you are working with reports and report objects, the title of the Navigation Pane is Report, and the content is a list of report objects in the selected report. If you are working on administrative items, the title of the Navigation Pane is Administration, and the content is a list of administrative tasks that you can perform.

Depending on what Navigation Pane is available, you can select and right-click an item to use context-menu commands. For example, if the title of the Navigation Pane is Report, you can right-click the main report and select Expand or Collapse to expand or collapse the entire object report tree. If you select just a report object and select Expand or Collapse, only the child objects of the selected object are shown or hidden. Also, if you type a term into the search field, only those report objects containing that search term are displayed in the object report tree.

If you are working in CDM, and you want to view other items on your screen in more detail, you can hide the Navigation Pane temporarily.

To hide the Navigation Pane, click the Full View Mode icon. The Navigation Pane becomes narrower on the side of your screen, allowing more space for other items.

To view a hidden Navigation Pane, click the arrow in the Navigation Pane. You can now see the entire Navigation Pane again.
