In other words, all slices you have created will be displayed by default. Your can use the checkboxes to toggle display of slices in your various projects, slices created by other members in your project on which you may be a member. You can also use the '''Advanced''' checkbox to * Renew your !Slice/Slivers * Edit Slice Membership * Delete your Slice Resources * View your Slice Manifest * View the latest Status of your Slice -------------------- === Quick List === This menu options provides a overlay navigation menu for each of your slices that the GENIDesktop already knows about. It may not show slices that have been created elsewhere. -------------------- === Create Slice === This option provides a quick access menu to the Slice Creation operation explained [wiki:GeniDesktop/Manual/gettingStarted#CreateaSlice here] -------------------- === Account === This options provides a shortcut to access a user Global Account Settings also called GENIDesktop Account Settings which is explained in [wiki:GeniDesktop/Manual/gdfeatures/settings#GlobalAccountSettings "Global Account Settings"] Section -------------------- === Manage Sessions === [[Image(session.png)]][[br]] Everytime you login to the GENIDesktop, all GENI related data such as slice and user credentials, manifests and slice status are fetched from the GENI Clearing house and GENI Aggregates and stored on the server just for that existing session. As shown in the screenshot below, every session has a default timeout of 30 minutes. This means that if you close your browser or loose connectivity to the GENIDesktop page for more than 30 minutes you session is considered expired and all GENI Slice state stored at the GENIDesktop is cleared out. This is an added security feature. If you need to have a really long lived session that you may to continue in case you have a background job running via the GENIDesktop, you can extend this timeout here. In addition to this, all you valid GENIDesktop sessions are listed on this page. You may see multiple active sessions here if you have GENIDesktop sessions opened up in different browsers at the same time or have a longer timeout set. You have the option of terminating the sessions from this option too. The '''Download Key''' button is used by the GDCLI tool to match a GENIDesktop CLI session to the GUI interface. ---------------------------- === GDCLI === This options is a shortcut to the '''GENIDesktop Command Line Interface Quick Start''' guide page that talks about how to install and use the GENIDesktop Command Line Interface a.k.a GDCLI. More details on how to use the GDCLI is explained later in the [wiki:GeniDesktop/Manual/gdfeatures/CLI GENIDesktop CLI Section]. ---------------------------- === Log Off === This option provides a way to safely logout of the GENIDesktop and terminate the existing session immediately without waiting for the default timeout explained in previously. ---------------------------- === FAQ/HELP === Clicking on this link redirects you to a wiki page where we have documented most of the issues a user may come across that can either be easily fixed by the user themself or perform a workaround. We advise GENI Users to first see the problem they are experiencing is listed on the FAQ before contacting us as it may help resolve their issue faster. ---------------------------- === !Feedback/Bug Report === Users can provide bug reports or feedback to the GENIDesktop developers using this link.
