UI Basics

This chapter provides information about the usage of the user interface of inspectIT.

1. Overview

The inspectIT user interface provides the user with all analysis options based on the gathered measurement data.

On the left-hand side, a navigation panel with several views is provided. On the right hand side is the analysis area (currently showing all invocation sequences)

Use F5 for refreshing the view

All views in inspectIT user interface can easily be refreshed by pressing the F5 on your keyboard.

2. Navigation panel

The navigation panel is initially located at the left hand side of the inspectIT user interface. As a part of this panel the 3 views are by default available:

  1. Repository Manager View
  2. Storage Manager View
  3. Data Explorer View

The views can be freely arranged by the user. The navigational panel and well as the analysis panel can be maximized if needed. All views are automatically switching the horizontal/vertical layout depending on the current position in the perspective. With a little play the inspectIT user interface can look like this:
