The task bar provides the capability of an active task switcher.
The task bar can be used as a navigation aid to move between tasks that
were launched and have not yet been closed. The task switcher does not pause
or resume existing tasks. Clicking on a task in the task bar brings that task’s
window forward and gives it focus.
Note: Applet-based tasks such as AIX® terminal windows,
5250 console windows, or restricted shell windows do not support the task
bar switching capabilities. Please use the window switching capabilities
for local windows to switch to the windows for these tasks.
The right end of the task bar also contains the following information:
- Your user ID. If you click the user ID, the Change User
Interface Settings window opens.
- Help displays information about all the tasks on the HMC and how
to use the Web-based user interface on the HMC.
- If you click Logoff, the Logoff or Disconnect window opens.
