Hover-to-Display menu
Previously, the secondary-level submenu was displayed in a tree structure. NetScaler Console GUI provides a seamless navigation where the secondary menu appears on hover, revealing the submenu. This navigation elevates the viewing experience by displaying all submenu options without the need for scrolling.
Streamlined menu hierarchy
The menu hierarchy is streamlined to a maximum of three levels. Submenus that were previously displayed beyond the third level are now positioned at the third level. Navigation is updated for the following:
- Infrastructure > Configuration
- NetScaler® Licensing > Pooled Licensing
- Gateway > HDX™ Insight
