Navigation throughout the DataSight Administrator interface is done primarily with the combination of mouse and keyboard actions.
Depending upon the focus of the mouse a variety of actions can be undertaken. Focusing may also be accompanied by a change in cell or node highlight.
Functions may be also accessed using the context menus.
