Action icons and buttons for objects

Each type of object (such as a map, topic, or Collaborative Review) has different actions allowed for it.

The allowed actions for an object appear wherever the object appears in IXIA CCMS Web, such as on the My Assignments page or in your Favorites side panel.

The available actions appear in the row for the object, such as on the My Assignments page. Or they are available from the More Options icon (More Options icon).

When you are working on an object in an editor (such as Topic Editor or Map Editor), some common actions appear as buttons instead of icons. Only some actions have buttons.

Note: Some actions are not allowed on an object in a specific status. Actions that are not allowed either do not appear or are grayed-out.
