What is the Main menu/Backstage?

All settings that are not linked to a particular module are defined in the Backstage (main menu). This makes it easy to access the settings at any time and in any module.

What is the ribbon?

The ribbon is the central control element of Netwrix Password Secure version 9. It is available in all modules. Netwrix Password Secure is almost always operated via the ribbon in the header area of the PSR client.

Ribbon

The features available within the ribbon are dynamic, and are based on the currently available actions. Various actions can be performed, depending on which object is selected. The module selected also affects the features that are available in the ribbon. Of course, the most important actions can also be controlled via the context menu (right mouse button).

Ribbon - Item

This mainly affects the very often used features such as opening, deleting or assigning tags. However, a complete listing of the possible actions is always only possible directly in the ribbon. This ensures that the context menu can be kept lean.

Access to the client main menu (backstage)

The button at the top left of the ribbon provides access to the Main menu:

Ribbon tabs

There are tabs in the header area of the ribbon that summarize all available operations. By default, module-independent Start, View, and Filter is available. If the footer of the Reading pane is opened (1), further tabs will be visible in the ribbon (2). These contain, according to the selection made in the footer, other possible actions.

Depending on the selected form field, further actions are offered in the Content tab. In the Password field, this is, for example, calling the password generator or the screen keyboard, or the possibility to copy it to the clipboard.
