The SAN File System console displays different panel types and task levels.
Each new task opened from the My Work frame creates an instance in the task bar. When a new task is opened it becomes the in-focus task, and is populated to the right of any task bar instances. Only one instance of a task can be listed in the task bar. If you select a task from the My Work frame that is already opened and represented in the task bar, the previous instance of that task in the task bar becomes selected and becomes the in-focus task.

Most of the main tasks in SAN File System are resource-oriented. Typically, condensed, data-rich displays in the form of tables are shown and you can perform many action-oriented subtasks from the main task (for example, add, change, remove). | Action tasks perform a specific function and can range
from complex actions that require multiple steps (such as wizards), to simpler
actions that might involve only one step. Action tasks run to completion and
then automatically close, bringing
the calling task to the foregroundd if there was one. The following SAN
File System tasks are all action-oriented:
