Browser Setup
This document is viewable with almost any
web browser. Preferably, use Netscape Navigator 3.x or higher
or use Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.x or higher. With other
browsers, some formatting will be incorrect. On Netscape for
UNIX, you may want to increase the font size. (There are
several methods under Netscape Options ->
General Preferences -> Fonts.)
Other levels of these viewers and other viewers may not
display all of the contents of this document. Preferably,
view this document on a screen with a resolution of at least
800x600 and 16 bit color depth (65,536 colors).
Documentation on setting up and using IT
Service Vision is distributed in native help form (as in Help
files on Windows and Open Systems) and as HTML files. These
can be accessed via the IT Service Vision Help or
Other
ITSV Documentation pulldown on the main menu.
The HTML files are displayed using the default Web browser
chosen by the user.
On Windows 95 or NT, to change the default
Web browser, bring up an Windows Explorer window, use the
View->Options pulldown, and go to the File Types
tab of the Options screen.
On UNIX, you may change the default Web
browser by specifying the X resource SAS.webBrowser. This can
be done using an X resource file, or by using the -xrm option
on the SAS invocation line. For example, to point to a
locally installed copy of Netscape,
sas612 [other
options] -xrm 'SAS.webBrowser:/usr/local/bin/netscape'
There should not be any horizontal scroll
bars at the bottom of your browser.

Color coding and
Representation of Platforms, Collectors, and Button Paths
Your operating system or platform is
represented by a color-coded icon. Your collector color is
identical to your platform color. When you see the icon
representing your platform or collector, click it for more
information.
For example: (The following icons are for
example only, they do not resolve).
| Icon |
Platform |
 |
MVS |
 |
Open Systems |
 |
Windows NT |
Button paths and additional
information are indicated by an identical background color
for your platform.
For example:
Thus, colored buttonpaths
are associated with information that is visible on the
current screen, and icons are associated with information
that displays when you click on the icon.
If you see a transparent icon with the text
N/A, the information does not apply to your platform or
collector.
For example: 
IT Service Vision contains supplied
collector and generic collector facilities. To use this
document, you must understand which facility applies to your
collector. This information is in the Introduction.
