In addition to the three major screen areas, the HMC Web user interface has these elements:

Tasks Pad
The Tasks Pad view contains available tasks arranged hierarchically and organized into task categories. The tasks displayed are context sensitive; they are displayed based on the type of the currently selected object(s). The Tasks Pad presents a launch point to the user for accessing targeted tasks. Alternatively, the user may launch tasks using available context menus or drop-down menus in the table within the Work Pane. You can also access them by clicking on the double arrow to the right of the selected item (under Name) in the table.
Banner
The Banner identifies the product, in this case, 'Hardware Management Console'. This banner may be customized or replaced for OEM partners.
 
Task Bar
The Task Bar is directly below the Banner, and contains the logged in user ID, Help, and Logout tasks. In addition, it visually represents all running tasks. The Task Bar may be used as a navigation aid to move between tasks (Web pages) that were launched and have not yet been closed.
