The Desktop Client Interface
The Desktop Client Interface
The Desktop Client interface provides access to MiCollab Client features through views, icons, menus, and other user interface (UI) elements.
By default, the MiCollab Desktop Client runs in Normal Mode. You can re-size the Desktop Client when it is running in Normal Mode by hovering your mouse over any edge of the interface. When the arrow appears, press down on the left mouse button and "drag" the interface to re-size it.
This is what the interface looks like:
There are four main sections in MiCollab Client main window.
| A | Header menu—Displays your personal information, presence status, and a search bar. |
| B | Navigation menu—Displays the basic Client navigation menu for MiCollab. Only the features you are licensed to use are displayed. |
| C | Display menu—Displays information related to the menu function selected in the Navigation menu. |
| D | Footer menu—Displays your phone status. |

The Header section comprises two important functions:
- Dynamic Status—Using Dynamic Status, see your avatar, presence status, and add a custom personal message.
- Search or Dial—Allows you to search for contacts, chats, calls, MiTeam Streams in any part of the Client or enter phone numbers to directly start dialing.

The Display area is the main information display for the MiCollab Client. In full screen mode, the left side of the screen provides the full list of the selected topic such as Chat, Call History, and so on. The right side of the screen displays the detail for the item selected on the left side, such as a chat thread or a contact card.
Footer menu
The Footer area provides phone status. Your administrator may have provisioned several (up to 8) devices for you. A typical setup includes a deskphone, a mobile, and a softphone. Your deskphone typically indicates your primary number. The other phones are twinned to your deskphone. Incoming calls are routed to all phones as determined by your Dynamic Status settings.
