2.2 View Mode


All guest users, as well as identified users who are not in authoring mode, are in View mode when browsing a Hyperwave Information Server. This mode allows users to browse information on the server, run a search, change user interface preferences and log in to the server. If you are an identified user, you have the additional option of switching to authoring mode. There are no pull-down menus in view mode; all functions are accessed directly from the menu bar.

An additional button appears on the right of the toolbar for identified users: SHORT DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS

Search: This button gives you access to the simple and extended search forms in a separate dialog box. These forms allow you to find documents on any part of the server you have read access to.

Home: Clicking on this button takes you to the default server entry page if you are a guest user, and to your personal home collection if you have one and are identified.

Preferences: This button displays a dialog box that lets you select various user interface preferences, e.g. interface language, document quality, sort order of collection listings, interface appearance, etc.

Authoring: This button appears only when the user is identified (has logged in).
