Main Screen

The right pane of Parallels Business Automation - Standard screen serves for operating components selected from the namespace tree. The main screen shows the Parallels Business Automation - Standard Directors' or Managers' dashboards, lists of objects, single objects' properties, or other related data.

Each Parallels Business Automation - Standard component (Director or Manager) has its own dashboard. Moreover, the Parallels Business Automation - Standard has its dashboard that may be considered as 30,000-foot view of tools and operations. So, a dashboard is the Parallels Business Automation - Standard component 'front-page' that provides you with the most important statistics and a place to start including:

- Shortcuts to the lists of objects.
- Information about the number of objects with separate counters for the objects in different states like Active Accounts, Accounts on Hold, Running Containers, etc.
- Shortcuts for the creation of new objects that fall into the functionality of Parallels Business Automation - Standard component selected.

To facilitate operating the lists of objects you can use:

- Search particular item within the list or filter the items by a particular property. The Search and filter bar is located at the top of each list.
- Hide/Show search and filter bars, action bars, tables and create/edit forms sections. Their hide/show status is retained throughout the session.
- Change Sorting Order. To this effect, click on the column-heading you want to sort by. In this case, the special pointer (small triangle) appears at the top of each column. This triangle indicates current sorting order: peak-up or peak-down for ascending and descending order respectively. Repeating click on the same link in column-heading changes sorting order from ascending to descending (and conversely) within single property.
- Change List Size. It is possible to set the listing to 20, 40, or 80 items per page. Appropriate links are above the list, to the right. Special links for viewing pages (page numbers, next,last) are also provided and you can find them both at the beginning and the end of the list.
- Export lists to Excel. Parallels Business Automation - Standard allows you to export data from any list in Parallels Business Automation - Standard to Excel, thus facilitating data operations. The information is exported from the whole list, not only from the visible part. For example, if you have set the listing to 40 items per page and the whole list includes 100 entries, you will get an excel format document covering 100 items. The Export to Excel icon is located above and under the lists.
- Set columns visibility. You can choose the columns to be displayed in the list tables by clicking on the icon above and under the list and enabling/disabling the corresponding entries in the drop-down menu. You are also allowed to set the columns order by drag-and-dropping the column titles.

In order to immediately bring the screen content in correspondence with actual state of affairs, you can Refresh the screen using the button located at the upper right corner of the screen.

The Help button located at the upper right corner of each screen shows the context-sensitive HTML help.
