The New Web Console is the preferred web UI, but if you want to carry on using the existing console (the Dashboard Web Console), you can switch back to that, see Switching between console types.

When you first log in to the New Web Console you are taken to the landing page. From here you can choose to manage existing queue managers, create a queue manager or a queue, navigate to some education topics, or open the IBM MQ product information in IBM Documentation. You can also launch the application quick start, which guides you through the process of quickly and easily setting up messaging between new or existing queue managers and applications.
