Items in the Standard View
The navigation pane is located on the left. It gives you access to sets of administrative functions:
- Clients. This is where you manage your clients and all data related to their accounts.
- Domains. This is where you manage Web sites and their respective e-mail services.
- Server. This shortcut gives you access to server administration functions.
- Modules. This is where you manage the additional modules that extend Plesk capabilities, such as Firewall, Game Server, VPN and others.
- Sessions. When clients, site and mailbox owners log in to control panel, or connect to the server via FTP protocol, they establish sessions that you can monitor and terminate.
- Global Account. This shortcut appears in your Plesk Control Panel when the single sign-on capabilities are switched on the hosting server. Single sign-on technology allows you to log in to different Parallels products using a single global login name and password. This shortcut is used for changing the global login settings.
- Master. This shortcut gives you access to centralized management of Plesk enabled servers.
- Help Desk. This is the help desk system integrated with your control panel. You can use it to view and solve the problems reported to you by your customers.
- Help. Provides context sensitive help.
- Log Out. When finished working with control panel, click this icon to close your session.
Below the Help icon, there is a context help tip area. It provides a brief description of the current screen or available operations. When you place the mouse pointer over a system element or status icon, it displays additional information.
To navigate through Plesk, you can also use a path bar: a chain of links that appears in the right part of the screen, below the banner area. To return to a previous screen, use the
Up Level icon in the upper-right corner of the screen.
To find items in lengthy lists, use search boxes located above every list of items: type a search criterion into the input box, and click Search. A list will show the items matching the search criteria. To return back to viewing all items, click Show All.
To sort a list by a certain parameter in ascending or descending order, click on the parameter's title in the column heading. The order of sorting will be indicated by a small triangle displayed next to the parameter's title.
