The upper-left corner of Management Console shows the name of the company whose workspace you are currently in.

The Expand/Collapse () button above the name of the company lets you expand and collapse names of the navigation area settings in the left part of Management Console. If your browser window is too narrow, the names of the navigation area settings and the Expand/Collapse () button are not displayed.

In the lower-left corner of Management Console, clicking the Administrator () icon and your name opens a drop-down list that allows you to do the following:

• Select the Management Console interface language.

When some Management Console windows (for example, the security profile settings window or certain confirmation windows) open, the main window remains visible but darkened and in the background. When this happens, you can click the left area of the main window. The window that is open in the foreground closes.
