Interaction Modes Chapter 2 Getting Started with CMS Interaction Modes You can change the interaction mode of CMS to either guide or expert mode. Guide mode steps you through each feature option and provides information about the parameter. Expert mode displays a configuration window in which you configure the feature options. Guide Mode Note Guide mode is not available if your switch access level is read-only. For more information about the read-only access mode, see the "Access Modes in CMS" section on page 2-33. Guide mode is for users who want a step-by-step approach for completing a specific configuration task. This mode is not available for all features. A menu-bar option that has a person icon means that guide mode is available for that option. When you click Guide Mode and then select a menu-bar option that supports guide mode, CMS displays a specific parameter of the feature with information about the parameter field. To configure the feature, you provide the information that CMS requests in each step until you click Finish in the last step. Clicking Cancel at any time closes and ends the configuration task without applying any changes. If Expert Mode is selected and you want to use guide mode, you must click Guide Mode before selecting an option from the menu bar, tool bar, or popup menu. If you change the interaction mode after selecting a configuration option, the mode change does not take effect until you select another configuration option. Expert Mode Expert mode is for users who prefer to display all the parameter fields of a feature in a single CMS window. Information about the parameter fields are provided from Help. Wizards Note Wizards are not available if your switch access level is read-only. For more information about the read-only access mode, see the "Access Modes in CMS" section on page 2-33. Wizards simplify some configuration tasks on the switch. Similar to the guide mode, wizards provide a step-by-step approach for completing a specific configuration task. Unlike guide mode, a wizard does not prompt you to provide information for all of the feature options. Instead, it prompts you to provide minimal information and then uses the default settings of the remaining options to set up default configurations. Wizards are not available for all features. A menu-bar option that has wizard means that selecting that option launches the wizard for that feature. 2-28 Catalyst 2900 Series XL and Catalyst 3500 Series XL Software Configuration Guide 78-6511-08
