## Administration Application Overview

Super Natural administration is an independent application with its own command processor. The users' part of Super Natural is called the Super Natural Processor.

The Super Natural Administration Application has three distinct sections as shown below:

- Super Natural
  You use the main part of the Super Natural Administration Application to maintain users, files (files, user files and superfiles) and libraries (public, common and private). The user interface conforms with the Super Natural Processor application.

- Natural Report Manager
  Parts of Natural Report Manager are incorporated. You can modify a user's layout options using part of the Natural Report Manager Profile function. You can modify the Standard Title for your site from the Special Services menu using the Layout Editor.

- Natural
  The Natural `LIST` command is incorporated. Choosing JCL Members from the Special Services menu is the same as issuing the following Natural commands:

      LOGON LIBRARY ZJCL

      LIST *

## Administration Application User Interface

The user interface for Super Natural uses menus, screens and windows.

### Object List Screens

Instead of the Description column found in the Processor application, the object list screens in the Administration Application have various information columns and do not have the Library and Library Type fields as shown below:

### > Navigation

The Modify Object screens and the Import Files Object list screen have > navigation fields for navigating between groups of settings or object types in the bottom left-hand corner of the processing area as in the sample below:

To navigate between groups of settings or object types using > navigation

- Mark the appropriate > navigation field with the cursor position or any non-blank character and press Enter.

  Or:
  Issue one of the following commands as appropriate:

  - `>OPTIONS`

  - `>PROFILE`

  - `>USERS`

  - `>PUBLIC`

  - `>FILES`

  - `>LAYOUT`
