ZSphere User Interface

ZSphere provides a graphical management interface for viewing resources, configuring resources, and performing operations through the navigation pane, resource tree, details page, and task/alarms panel.

• Navigation Pane: Located on the left of the interface, the navigation pane provides quick access to major platform functions, such as Dashboard, Inventory, Storage Service, and System Management. The navigation pane and resource tree form the primary navigation framework of the platform. You can switch between modules through the first-level and second-level menus in the navigation pane.
• Resource Tree: Located under the secondary menu of Inventory, the resource tree displays resources such as virtual machines, data storage, and distributed switches in a tree structure. You can browse and manage resources hierarchically, expand or collapse nodes, and use the right-click menu.
• Task/Alarms Panel: Located at the bottom of the interface, the task/alarms panel displays platform tasks and real-time platform alarms. It is globally visible so that you can track task execution and platform status changes. You can expand or collapse the panel.
• Details Page: The main workspace of the interface. The details page displays detailed information about the selected resource, including configuration overview, resource monitoring, and associated resources. It can be displayed as cards, lists, or other views.
• Action Bar: Located at the top or side of the details page, the action bar provides operation buttons for the selected resource. You can use the action bar to perform management actions.
• Tabs: Located near the top of the details page, tabs allow you to switch between different functional views on the same page. Related resource tabs and the action bar together support a select-view-operate workflow.
