Manager Desktop

Access and Login

The manager's desktop is accessed by typing in the following URL in a web browser:
 
http(s)://<hostName_or_IP>/flex/html5
 
The following login is displayed and the credentials set up in the System Config of the Administration area are used to log into the manager's desktop. User credentials can be customized from the User Setup application.
 

 
Once logged in, the manager's desktop has the following major areas:

Title Bar

The title bar of the manager desktop gives drop-down menus for Dashboards and Projects on the left. Additionally, the name of the person who has logged in, help, administration options, and user profile options are displayed on the right.
 
The test manager is a super-user of Zephyr and can dive into any Project Desktop by picking one of the options in the drop-down menu as shown. When they do that, they have the same privileges as a test lead who is in charge of their particular project.

Administration

Selecting 'Administration' from the cogwheel on the right side lists all the applications that are available to the test manager. This entire tool dock can be slid to the left to make more room for application windows. It can be restored to its original just as easily.
 
The following applications are currently available:

  
1. System Setup
          This application allows the manager to modify configuration parameters, administer the server, select a Defect Tracking System, customize the application and view the license information.
2. User Setup
          This application allows the manager to add and modify users, their details and enable/disable them.
3. Project Setup

4. Defects Admin
          This application allows the manager to administer various aspects of the Defect Tracking System that is chosen in the system setup area.
