How to Read the User Manual
The CISO portal is an expert tool with many complicated parts, which can make it difficult for new users to get started, as well as make the manual difficult to understand. Therefore, when developing this manual certain typographic rules and area definitions are used to make the manual more easily readable.
Area definitions and typographic rules are presented here. For more in-depth explanations of terms used in the CISO portal, see the Glossary.
Area Definitions
The two most common types of views in CISO are portrayed here. CISO always has a top navigation panel and a content area. Most of the time, there is a left navigation panel. Sometimes, in the more complex views, there is also a right navigation panel.
The navigational panels are sometimes also referred to as menus (e.g. "left-hand menu" or "top menu").
Typographic rules
References to navigation items in the top, left-hand, and right-hand menus are written in bold.
References to text in the content area, such as input-field labels or links, are written in "italics with quotes"
References to other pages in the manual are written as links to that page, such as this reference to the User Manual.
Instructions
Instructions are written as step-by-step instructions with numbered lists, such as the one shown below:
To write an Instruction, follow these steps:
- Write "To do X, follow these steps:".
- Insert a row break.
- Make a numbered list.
