2. Central Administration Breadcrumb Navigation Trail Icon
SharePoint 2010 introduces a new breadcrumb navigation trail icon, shown between the Site Actions and Browse options in Figure 3,
that is available on all pages including the Central Administration
home page. This icon allows you to easily determine where you are
located within the Central Administration site and quickly navigate from
a lower level component to a higher level component using the links
available in the breadcrumb navigation trail.
In most locations, the breadcrumb navigation trail also appears in the title bar area, as shown in Figure 4.
This provides a quick overview that shows you where you are located
without clicking the breadcrumb navigation trail icon. Note that links
that appear dimmed in the title bar breadcrumb navigation trail are
unavailable because they represent the current page.
3. Central Administration Browse Option
The Browse option on the Central Administration home
page is the default view that is displayed when you first open
SharePoint 2010 Central Administration. You can access the eight
functional categories from this view using the Quick Launch bar on the
left or from within the main section of the page.
The SharePoint Health Analyzer bar shown in Figure 5
may appear in yellow or red on your screen. A yellow Health Analyzer
Information bar indicates there were warnings discovered and reported. A
red Health Analyzer information bar indicates there were errors
discovered and reported. This analyzer bar will only display warnings or
errors if the Health Analyzer discovers them as it performs the default
health checks on your SharePoint farm.
To view the critical
issues it is reporting to you, click the View These Issues link within
the Health Analyzer information bar to display a Review Problems And
Solutions report such as the one shown in Figure 6.
