Abstract

As part of our continued User Experience focus, HMC 10.2.1030.0 includes the next phase in the user interface (UI) transition to a new look based on Carbon design and we welcome your feedback on the UI enhancements.

A new dashboard designed for an enhanced user experience is available. Only the dashboard has a new experience and few panels have been consolidated for an enhanced user experience,  most of the existing panels remain the same for this release. Groups in the new dashboard are referred to as tags. Users can learn more about the navigation options in the new dashboard compared with old dashboard using the "Learn about the HMC Interface" link in the login page of HMC and in the latest blog in the IBM Power Community.
New experience includes:     
  • Quick left navigation using hamburger menu    
Hamburger menu
  • Different drawers in header and detached help drawer. Also a user can switch from new to old dashboard and vice-versa by clicking "User" icon at the top right corner of the dashboard and selecting "Switch to old dashboard/Switch to new dashboard". This must be selected on each login, as the default is the new GUI.
