Overview of the User Interface Layer Components

The user interface layer of the vSphere HTML5 Web Client 6.5 contains a limited set of the views and the features that are provided by the vSphere Web Client for managing vSphere objects.

The user interface layer of the vSphere HTML5 Web Client contains HTML views, such as the data views, portlets, navigation options, and search bar. The vSphere HTML5 Web Client provides a vSphere objects navigator, the same top-level tabs for the vSphere objects in the main workspace area, and a panel that displays the recent tasks and events.

You navigate through the user interface of the vSphere HTML5 Web Client application in the same way as you do with the vSphere Web Client.
