The user interface for the Management Console is comprised of these segments, starting from the top-left most portion of the page:
The Select Instance dropdown is available on every Management Console page. It is always located at the top-most portion of the left-hand pane, just above the What do you want to do? list.
When you click the Select Instance... dropdown, the Management Console displays a list of currently available instances registered with this Management Console. The list is organized by these groups:
Independent Instances
These are instances not associated with a server group.
Server Group: name
Where name is the name of the server group. For example, default.
Each instance is listed by its name, which is a link to the instance, and a description of the instance. If you click the link for the instance, the Management Console displays the management page of the instance.

The view also lists server types that are available, but not installed.
This screen shot displays an example of the Management Console if the Enterprise Server is not installed:
In Server Manager, you manage servers by grouping similarly purposed servers into logical groupings called server groups. You determine how you want to group servers depending on your particular JD Edwards EnterpriseOne implementation. For example, you may want to put all production servers in one server group and manage development servers in another. Or, you may decide to place servers in separate server groups based on geographical location. How you organize and manage servers in server groups is up to you.
At a minimum, the EnterpriseOne Servers By Group view of the Management Console includes a default server group that you can use to initially manage servers. You can move any server from the default server group to a newly created server group. A server cannot belong to more than one server group, including the default server group.
You can include the following types of servers in a server group:
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Management Console
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Enterprise Server
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne HTML Server
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Transaction Server
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Collaborative Portal Server
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Business Services Server
To select the EnterpriseOne Servers By Group view of the Management Console:
On the Home page, use the Select View dropdown to select EnterpriseOne Servers by Group.
The EnterpriseOne servers are organized by server groups, where every installation will have at least one server group called default. For example:
