Main user interface

The interface is divided into three areas: the control palette, navigation bar, and workspace area.
Note: Rational® Focal Point™ can be configured in several ways and the user interface options differ for each user type based on the configuration.
Rational Focal Point main user interface
  • 1: Control palette
  • 2: Navigation bar
  • 3: Workspace area

Control palette

The control palette contains the following links:

Navigation bar

You can access all the available menu items from the navigation bar. The set of menus and menu items are based on your access levels and whether a workspace is open. The Search feature Search option is above the navigation bar. Use the search option to search information in the workspace.
Note: The Back and Forward web browser navigation buttons do not work with the Rational Focal Point. Use the navigation options available in the Rational Focal Point application window.

Workspace area

The workspace area initially displays a list of the workspaces of which you are a member.
Note: If you are not a member of a workspace, the Workspaces page lists public workspaces only. To become a workspace member, either contact the User Administrator, or on the Login page, click the Need Access? link to register.
