Introducing the Front Panel

You use the Front Panel to activate HP VUE applications or change to a different workspace. To do so, you move the pointer to the control that represents the action you want, and click mouse button 1.

Some controls have an arrow above them. When you click the arrow, a subpanel pops up. This subpanel extends the control's functionality.

Figure 2-10  Use the arrow controls to display and close the subpanels.

To get help on a control, choose On Item in the Help subpanel. The pointer changes to a question mark. Move the pointer over the control or application you need help with, and click mouse button 1. This feature only works with Workspace Manager dialogs, Front Panel controls, or subpanel controls.

Chapter 3 “Learning Basic Skills” provides more detail on using the Front Panel and other HP VUE features.
