The end user interface
You access the VistaPortal end user interface via a Web browser using the user name and password that your administrator defined for each user. Your administrator has the option of enabling you to reset your password. This is explained in the VistaPortal Administration Guide, "Enabling user password reset".
The end user interface shows a variety of InfoVista service level information such as graphs, charts, and exceptions. VistaPortal displays each type of information as independent display elements called displets.
The interface header provides access to displets with a megamenu, with a drop-down list of reports, and shows report categories in breadcrumb navigation style.
