GUI Tool Functions

The Web GUI provides some tools that apply to the entire GUI and other tools that apply to specific functions on a tab. For example, "Customizing the Page Display" applies to all pages and "Add widget" applies only to the Home page. Some tools are activated by icons and some are activated by links. The display of icons and links depends on whether the system displays Expert mode or Basic mode.
