  7.   <P> The P4Web control panel, visible at the top of every P4Web page, offers 
  8.     <a href="controlpanel.html#shortcuts">shortcut buttons</a> and the <a href="controlpanel.html#menus">Action 
  9.     menu</a>. It also shows your Perforce <a href="controlpanel.html#config">configuration 
  10.     information</a>, and in some cases, <a href="controlpanel.html#recentactivity">recent 
  11.     depot activity</a>. Some of the shortcuts buttons and menu choices are available 
  12.     only if you're using P4Web in <a href="helper.html">Standard mode</a> and 
  13.     are not displayed in <A HREF="browseonly.html">Viewer mode</A>. 
  14.   <h4>
  15. <a name=shortcuts>
  16. Shortcut buttons
  17. </a>
  18. </h4>
  19. Depending on the P4Web page you're on, you'll see a selection of shortcut buttons.These 
  20.   buttons provide links to many of the operations that are also available in the 
  21.   drop-down menus. In most browsers, you can mouse over the buttons to see brief 
  22.   descriptions of what they do: 
  23.   <p>

  49. </table>
  50.  
  51.  
  52.   <h4> <a name=menus> The Action menu </a> </h4>
  53.   <p> There is a pulldown Action menu at the top of every page that allows you 
  54.     to act on the objects on that page. Depending on your browser, you either 
  55.     simply select the option or select the option and click <B>Go</B>. 
  56.   <p>
  57.  
  58.  
  59. <H4>
  60. <a name=config>
  61. Configuration settings
  62. </a>
  63. </H4>
  64. <P>
  65. The banner at the top of the P4Web control panel shows the
  66. P4Web page you're on, and your current Perforce
  67. <A HREF="defs.html#port">port</A>,
  68. <A HREF="defs.html#user">user</A>, and
  69. <A HREF="defs.html#client">client</A> configuration settings.
  70. You can change the current client workspace setting by clicking the
  71. <b>Settings</b> tab.
  72.   <p> This banner also shows your current path in the <b>Path</b> field, which 
  73.     is important in P4Web, because you are often given the option of viewing items 
  74.     that only affect your current path. 
  75.   <ul>
  76. <li>While viewing a file, click <b>Go</b> to view the Revision History of that file.
  77. <li>While viewing a folder, click <b>Go</b> to go to the Tree view of that folder.
  78. </ul>
  79. To navigate to another file or folder, type the path in the <b>Path</b> field 
  80.   and click <b>Go</b>. If the path is a folder, the path must have a trailing 
  81.   path delimiter. If the path does not have a trailing path delimiter, P4Web assumes 
  82.   that the path is a file. 
  83.   <h4>
  84. <a name=recentactivity>
  85. Recent activity
  86. </a>
  87. </h4>
  88. <p>
  89. The control panel can be set to
  90. show the five most recent changes to the current file or path.
  91. Use either the "Show/Hide recent activity"
  92. <a href="controlpanel.html#shortcuts">shortcut button</a> to set this preference.
  93. If you are working with a large depot, please see
  94. see <a href="tips.html#serverimpact">Reducing P4Web's impact on the Perforce Server</a>.
