Operations Panel Buttons

This is where you make changes to the library and perform procedures. The changes and procedures are dependent on what is selected in the north panel. Note that some buttons have an ellipse - the three dots to the right - and some don’t.

Buttons without an ellipse will cause an immediate action when pressed. For instance, if you press the Offline button, you will take the partition selected in the north panel offline immediately. If you press a button with an ellipse, another dialog window will open that will allow you to make selections before you take an action.

If you hover your cursor over an inactive button, a popup will appear that will tell you why the button is inactive.
