Modern View and Classic View

The GigaVUE-FM Graphical User Interface for software version 5.10.01 is enhanced for ease of accessibility of the physical and the virtual nodes and the solutions. The menus and navigational paths are arranged based on the operations performed by the various user roles. However, no changes have been made to the layout of the individual pages with this enhancement.
