The navigation pane includes the Navigation tree and the Shortcuts bar.
Navigation tree
The Navigation tree enables you to navigate across the program views. Views depend on whether the console is connected to a managed machine or to the management server. In both cases, you can choose between the Full list or the Short list of views. The Short list contains the most frequently used views from the Full list.
Views for a managed machine
When the console is connected to a managed machine, the following views are available in the navigation tree.
The Short list displays
[Machine name]. This is the root of the tree also called a Welcome screen. It displays the name of the machine the console is currently connected to. Use this view for quick access to the main operations, available on the managed machine.
Backup plans and tasks. Use this view to manage backup plans and tasks on the managed machine: run, edit, stop and delete plans and tasks, view their progress.
Vaults. Use this view to manage personal vaults and archives stored in there, add new vaults, rename and delete the existing ones, validate vaults, explore backup content, perform operations on archives and backups, etc. If the machine is registered on the management server, you can browse the centralized vaults and perform operations on the archives for which you have the appropriate permissions.
Alerts. Use this view to examine warning messages for the managed machine.
The Full list additionally displays
Tape management. Use this view to perform operations with tapes.
Disk management. Use this view to perform operations on the machine's hard disk drives.

The Shortcuts bar appears under the navigation tree. It offers you an easy and convenient way of connection to the machines in demand by adding them as shortcuts.
To add a shortcut to a machine
Connect the console to a managed machine.
In the navigation tree, right-click the machine's name (a root element of the navigation tree), and then select Create shortcut.
If the console and agent are installed on the same machine, the shortcut to this machine will be added to the shortcuts bar automatically as Local machine [Machine name].
