The navigation structure of the user interface is hierarchical and allows users to drill down to the selection of an object definition. The top level of the hierarchy is used to classify the data managed by One Identity Manager into specified categories. Categories include a range of different menu items. Select a category on the category tab. You can configure additional settings in the configuration menu.

Specific mouse commands are available:
-
You can open or close a menu item by double-clicking on the entry name.
-
