5 P-Cz3.2.0p7 Web GUI Changes

The P-Cz3.2.0p7 release changes the look, and some of the behavior, of the Web GUI to better align with Oracle's current styles and standards. Although most of the navigation and operations remain the same, some differences occur in the location and design of the controls you use to access and manipulate the objects on the Web GUI. The following information describes the new controls, operations, and behavior of the Web GUI.

New Web GUI Behavior

Each part of the Web GUI received updates for the P-CZ3.2.0 release. The following information describes the visual and operational changes to the header and each tab. Note that the Branding bar has a slightly different look, however, the buttons and functionality remains the same.

Oracle Header

The header displays five tabs and the User Menu removes the Preferences item. The following screen capture shows the new header, displaying the Dashboard, Configuration, Monitor and Trace, Widgets and System tabs.

Configuration Tab

  • Center pane header—Now displays only the Save, Verify, Discard, and Search controls. The save, discard, verify buttons are on the right side, identified with icons. Search is on the left side, identified by an icon and a text box. The Wizard tab is moved to within the system tab. The Commands button is changed to the View Configuration button.

    This screen capture shows the center pane of the Configuration tab. The preceding text describes the changes from the previous web GUI

  • Navigation pane—Displays icon buttons with text that take you to the labeled configuration categories. The following screen capture shows the Navigation pane under the Session Agent configuration icon. When you are within individual configuration dialogs, the GUI includes the Back to Navigation button, which you click to return to the initial configuration tab display.

    This screen capture shows the navigation pane under the Session Agent configuration icon. It now displays the View Configuration button and Search icon at the top left corner and uses a scroll bar to browse the list's objects.

    The Web GUI no longer displays the Discard Configuration confirmation dialog when you change tabs without saving the configuration. The system retains changes for when you return to the dialog, providing more flexibility with navigation while making, changing and saving configurations.

Note:

Re-clicking the tab or configuration object that is currently displayed does not refresh the page.

Monitor and Trace Tab

Navigation pane—Displays links to the Monitor and Trace summaries.

This screen capture shows the new navigation pane on the Monitoring tab. It no longer includes Widgets, which is now a separate tab.

System Tab

For more information about the following enhancements, see the topics cited for each one in the applicable OECB documentation .

  • SIP Sessions Widget—The SIP Sessions All option for this widget is removed.
  • Drop-down lists in configuration dialogs—All configuration parameters that support lists of possible values now display a drop-down list of the values rather than a blank field where you previously had to type the value. The system populates some drop-down lists, and you can populate others with the entries you prefer. See “Drop-Down Lists” in the "Configuration Dialogs Behavior" topic.
  • Configuration Options fields—Options fields in configuration dialogs allow you use selected delimiters between options.( commas, semi-colons, full stops, and parens) See "Options Fields" in the "Configuration Dialogs Behavior" topic.
  • Infinite pagination for lists—You can scroll continuously through lists, rather than having to click through them page-by-page. The display provides a counter to help you keep oriented. See "Monitor and Trace" and "Configuration Tab Display".
  • Context persistence—In certain situations, you can switch from one tab to another and find the data on the first tab displayed as it was when you return. See "Unsaved Changes Persistence", "Configuration Tab Buttons", and "Ladder Diagrams and Display Controls".
  • Monitor and Trace ladder diagrams—The Monitor and Trace tab allows you open multiple ladder diagrams and switch back-and-forth among them. Also, you can open a ladder diagram, switch away to view something else (such as another tab), and return to find the ladder diagram displaying as it was before you switched away. See “Ladder Diagrams and Display Controls”, “Ladder Diagram Buttons”, and “Display a Ladder Diagram”.
  • Multi-row select actions—You can select multiple rows in a table for certain actions. See “Controls for Managing Configuration Lists”, “Display a Ladder Diagram”, “Ladder Diagrams”, “Display Controls”, and “Monitor and Trace”.
  • File upload—The system allows only the parens, full stop, and space characters in the names of files that you want to upload. The system verifies the syntax before allowing the upload and displays an error message when the syntax is incorrect. See "System File Management Types and Descriptions".
