The Treebrowser

Index and Search

The treebrowser in the left frame has links to the various parts of the process. By clicking on a link, the corresponding topic is shown in the main frame, that is, this window.

The index and search buttons display each a new window, allowing you to browse the index or enter a string for a free text search, respectively.

Navigation Buttons

The previous, up, and next buttons are context sensitive to the current page displayed in the main frame. Previous, next, and up follow the same structure as the treebrowser in the left frame.
The "Where am I" highlights the current page in treebrowser, and expands the treebrowser if necessary.
Do not confuse previous and next with 'Back' and 'Forward' buttons in the web-browser. 'Back' and 'Forward' in the web browser, display pages in a history sequence.

The Process Overview Table

The Button in the Margin

Dipsplay a one-page overview of all pages in the Unified ProcessThe process overview table provides links to all objects in the process. It is particularly useful when you know exactly what you are looking for.
Most pages have a button in the right border (as to the right of this text).

The purpose of this button is to make it possible to start the Unified Process from an individual page in the process. Clicking on the button will make the frames appear with the treebrowser, as well as the navigation buttons at the top.

Important: If you are already navigating using frames, nothing will happen when you click on the button. Only a message will be presented.
