• DISCOVER. Initiate a discovery scan or view a map of devices seen by WhatsUp Gold during a previous scan.
• MY NETWORK. View your current network to monitor device inventory, connectivity, and status information.
• ANALYZE. Access default and custom dashboards to generate reports as well as an extensive library of logs containing historical data to aid in troubleshooting potential network problems.
• SETTINGS. Configure WhatsUp Gold to customize your network monitoring environment.

Additionally, from the top of the interface, you can:

• Perform a global search of WhatsUp Gold. (Keyword search for libraries, devices, reports, logs, flow sources, and help topics.)
• Manage active web alarms.
• Access user settings.
• Access WhatsUp Gold help, support, knowledge base, and license information, a guided welcome tour, and much more.

These top level navigation controls persist regardless of what areas of WhatsUp Gold you access or what actions you perform.
