Figure 4-3 Guide Mode and Wizards
Guide mode is not available if your switch access level is read-only. For more information about the
read-only access mode, see the “Privilege Levels” section on page 4-7.
Expert Mode
Expert mode is for users who prefer to display all the parameter fields of a feature in a single
CMS window. You can view information about the parameter fields by clicking the Help button.
You must click Expert before selecting an option from the menu bar, tool bar, or popup menu to launch
that feature in Expert Mode. If you change the interaction mode after selecting a configuration option,
the mode change does not take effect until you select another configuration option.
Wizards
Similar to 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.
When you select a feature that has Wizard in the name, the wizard launches for that feature, as shown in
Figure 4-3 on page 4-6.
Wizards are not available or for read-only access levels. For more information about the read-only access
mode, see the “Privilege Levels” section on page 4-7.
