RSM Child Windows

Several actions is RSM will display thgeir resuilts in child browser windows. Child windows are only opened when an action takes the user to a completely different area within RSM, for example the Check Level functions. These windows can be viewed while the user is also viewing the main RSM Configuration Window. This is important for example when the user has requested a help page.# The following RSM actionsresult in in the birth (or refresh) of a child browser window:
Note:Netscape Navigator / Communicator do not auto-raise existing child windows, although the contents are updated.

  • The user selects the help icon in the Navigator area. The help window is opened or refreshed.
  • The user selects an SRN link from the Event Log Analysis page, of after running a diagnostic action. The SRN window is raised. This will automatically search for the closest match to the SRN the user has requested information about.
  • The user selects a Check Level action. The Check Level window is raised which requests the level check from the SSA Customer Support Website2.
  • The user selects the SSA Tools Menu icon from the Common Navigation Frame. This opens the SSA Tools Menu window. This page provides a JavaScript function that ensures only one browser window is opened when the user selects the RSM link from the SSA Tools Menu. That is, is the user has RSM running, selects the SSA Tools Menu, then selects the RSM link, they will be returned to the existing RSM window.
