The simplified user interface feature

The simplified user interface (UI) feature allows you to customize the interface of the IXIA CCMS Desktop according to the needs of your enterprise or your users.

You can simplify the user interface by customizing the layout both when the IXIA CCMS Desktop starts up and in the various IXIA CCMS perspectives. When you do, you can hide menus, options, and other interface items that users do not need.

For example, the following diagram shows the default Import dialog that is displayed when users select File > Import:
Since users will only need the import options for the CCMS, you can remove the other folders so that users only see these options.
Simplified import
You can customize the following aspects of the CCMS Desktop:
  • CCMS Desktop startup elements: You can control the elements displayed when users first start up the CCMS Desktop. This includes items such as the Import menu, the Preferences menu, and the perspectives that open at startup. The startup configuration is loaded only once, when the CCMS Desktop starts up.
  • CCMS Perspectives: You can customize any CCMS perspective according to your preferences. For each perspective, you can customize the following interface elements: menus, sub-menus, Oxygen pop ups and action bar, panels, views, and buttons.
    Note: Not all features can be modified.
