Description of the Web User Interface Display
The Frames
The CICSPlex SM Web User Interface display consists of three frames:
You use the icons and links to navigate around the Web User
Interface, access the Web User Interface facilities such as Help, and manage your Web User
Interface session.
Icons
Icons may be:
- A graphic symbol, displayed on a screen, that a user can point
to with a device such as a mouse in order to select a particular
function.
- Graphical representations of an object (for example, a file) that consists

convey information about the object (for example, that a field is case
sensistive).

Links
A link allows you to connect a field in one view with related information

Links can originate from attribute values on tabular form displays or from
attribute labels on detail form displays.
There are two types of link:
- Links to alternative details for a specific resource within the same view
set. The data displayed is not updated.
- Links to related resources, for example, from task to transaction, in another
view set. These result in new data being collected. This type of link is
marked with an icon representing the target resource.
