The menu bar

If you have logged in to TightGate-Pro with the TightGate-Viewer, you will see a menu bar at the bottom of the screen. This is initially collapsed and opens as soon as you move your mouse pointer over it.

File manager TightGate-Pro provides you with a certain amount of storage space. You can create directories and save data there. Certain directories are fixed and cannot be deleted or moved. This applies in particular to the directory transfer. If you download files to TightGate-Pro using the browser, they should only be saved in the directory transfer directory. You can then use the TightGate-Schleuse to transfer the data to your workstation. The prerequisite is that your system administration allows this procedure.	Always

Depending on the system environment, there may be all or fewer icons or operating elements in the TightGate-Pro menu bar. The following sections provide information on their function and possible uses.

Display of active programmes

As soon as a programme is started, the icon of the running programme appears in the middle section of the menu bar. The green illuminated ring indicates that the programme is active. The programme can be switched to the foreground or minimised by clicking on the icon several times. Running programmes are signalled as follows:

Icon	Icon Description
Active instance of the Firefox Internet browser Several instances can be started. They are each represented by their own icon with a light ring. If a browser is minimised, the green edge of the icon is darkened.
Active e-mail programme Only one instance of the e-mail programme can be started. If the e-mail programme is minimised, the green border of the icon is darkened.

Other running auxiliary programmes are each displayed with their own icons in the control bar. These can also be switched to the foreground or minimised.

Calling up utility programmes

In addition to the Internet browser, TightGate-Pro also provides other programmes for using the Internet. The utilities can be accessed via a menu that can be opened via the Start menu icon. If the start menu is switched off system-wide, the utilities cannot be started directly.

File storage

Each user has their own transfer-folder, which can be accessed via the file manager of the control bar. The transferfolder is the central repository for all files on TightGate-Pro. All downloads from the Internet and all files that can be transferred via the TightGate-Schleuse are stored here. Files in the transferfolder can be opened by double-clicking in the file manager and viewed and edited using integrated tools.

There may be further subfolders below the transfer folder, but these are only displayed if the corresponding additional functions have been enabled by the administration. The following subfolders can be created automatically:

autotransfer

OPSWAT

Permanent

In addition to the transfer folder, there can also be a folder tgshare folder in addition to the transfer folder, provided this is shared centrally by the administration. The folder tgshare folder is a shared directory for all users of a TightGate-Pro system. Files can be processed together via this folder. When using the shared folder tgshare it is important to remember that all users of TightGate-Pro must share the files in the tgshare folder can view, edit and delete them.

It is not desirable that files are stored outside the transfer-directory or the shared folder tgshare folder. All files outside these folders are automatically deleted each time the TightGate-Viewerlogs in.
