User Interface Elements
Within each area of Nimbul (see Navigation), you will encounter several standard UI elements.
- Tabs: Most Nimbul pages contain several tabs, representing tasks or smaller sets of information about a cluster, an instance or another aspect of your cloud accounts.

- Tables: Information is presented in tables to make it easy to skim. Tables often include links to details and icons for performing related actions.

- Editable Labels: A dotted line under a label indicates that the object can be renamed — simply click, enter a new name and click Save.


- Auto-complete: When you type characters into Search boxes and other text fields, Nimbul automatically provides suggestions based on what you have typed. You can select suggested items directly from auto-complete pop-ups.
