Panes

In general, each pane four primary parts: the banner, toolbar, tree menu, and content pane.

Banner

Along the top of the page.

The banner includes the device name (next to the Fortinet logo) and options to open/close side menu, switch ADOMs (when enabled), open the CLI console, view notifications, view help content, and access the admin menu. In some panes, further options will be included in the banner.

Tree menu

On the left side of the screen.

In some panes, further navigation will be available as tabs along the top of the content pane. This additional horizontal menu can be toggled to a vertical menu, if preferred.

Use this navigation menu to open panes in the GUI.

Content pane

Contains widgets, lists, configuration options, or other information, depending on the pane, menu, or options that are selected. Most management tasks are handled in the content pane.

Toolbar

Directly above the content pane.

The toolbar includes options for managing content in the content pane, such as Create New and Delete.
