Client-Side Administration

Upon selecting the HotJava Views client-side administration, a web page with an embedded applet is displayed. The applet contains the major tasks needed to configure HotJava Views client applications:

• Overview - Explanatory text that describes the overall flow of the administration applet. When first entering this applet, this button is highlighted and the overview text is displayed. This page also has some pointers to task-based help (how to configure a selector, how to configure drawers, and other tasks).

• Application Palette - To add and configure the global properties of the applications that can be used in the selector and drawers.

• Groups & Configuration - Configuring what users are in what groups and defining the selector applications, sliding panels, and application properties specific to each group.

• Network Computer Props - Properties that are specific to an NC hardware client, overriding properties set by the user or group. For example, you can have a public-use NC that uses the printers nearest to it, rather than the printers assigned by the group or user.
