Understanding the eADM User Interface: Feature Areas
This guide explains the fundamental layout and functions of the eADM user interface. Most areas within the application follow the structure described here.
What is a Feature Area?
A Feature Area is a dedicated section of the eADM application that contains all the information and functionality related to a specific topic, such as "Users" or "Rulesets". You can access most Feature Areas directly from the main menu.
Using the Search Function
Most Feature Areas open with a search form that allows you to find specific items.
Performing a Search
Enter a keyword into the search field. The system displays results dynamically as you type.
If your search yields no results, the system will display a "No hits found" message.
To view all items in the Feature Area, select the Show all checkbox. This will ignore any text in the search field and display a complete list.
Note: The search results you see depend on the access rights of your user account.
Understanding Search Results
When a search returns one or more results, they appear automatically in a results table.
Header: The header shows the title of the Feature Area (e.g., "Ruleset") and the total number of results found.
Results Table: The results are displayed in a paginated table.
Columns: Each column has a title corresponding to an attribute. You can click the sort icons next to the column title to sort the results in ascending or descending order.
Rows: Each row represents a single item. Clicking anywhere on a row will open the Detail View for that item. For example, clicking on a user in the search results will open the Detail View for that specific user.
Note: To open the Detail View in a new browser tab or window, hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Cmd (Mac) while clicking on the row.
Row-Specific Functions
Depending on the Feature Area, each row may have several function buttons on the right side. Common functions include:
Edit
Copy
Delete
Preview
Page Navigation and Actions
Below the search results table, you will find additional controls:
Action Buttons: Buttons for primary actions, such as Create new, are located here.
Page Navigation: Controls to navigate through multiple pages of results are located at the bottom right. You can see the current page number, the total number of pages, and buttons to move to the next or previous page.
Using the Detail View
The Detail View displays comprehensive information about a single item. This information is organized into one or more tabs. Each tab groups related settings and functions under a clear heading. The "Synchronization" area is an example of a view that uses tabs to organize its functions.
