This chapter explains the basic navigation in NetVizura to allow you to more quickly learn where is what in NetVizura.

NetVizura interface can be roughly separated in two:

  • Top navigation bar
  • Main Panel. 

Top level Navigation bar is always displayed independent to the Main Panel data. Main Panel shows module specific data in view mode or Settings Panel in settings mode.

Note that display options depend on the user type and permissions: Control Panel is only visible to NetVizura administrators (user type admin), module setting is only visible if the user has permission to see the module, editing module data is only possible if user has write privileges for the module etc.

Time Window Menu 

Time Window is used to select a time interval for which data will be displayed. For example, if Time Window is set to Last Day then the active module will show only data and events that occurred during last day.

 

 

 

Time Window options:

  1. Shortcuts – history, previous and next Time Window value
  2. Standard List – predefined time interval list: Last Hour, Last 6 Hours, Last 12 Hours, Last Day, Last Week, Last Month
  3. Custom Fields  – any time interval (dates, hours or minutes) picker

 

 

You can set default Time Window and date format preference. To learn how, go to Configuring Time Window.

Time Window is independent from the views and modules i.e. no matter where you navigate and what statistics you select to view, TIme Window value will remain the same and will be applied to the data shown (if applicable).
