The taskbar provides the capability of an active task switcher.
The taskbar 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
taskbar 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
taskbar switching capabilities. Please use the window switching capabilities
for local windows to switch to the windows for these tasks.
The right end of the taskbar 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.
