The main window of the Ares client is split into four main sections, figure below.
A: This is the main pane; it shows all the queues that contain items in need of processing.
The first column of this display is the title of the queue; the second is the count of
items waiting to be address within that queue. If there are no items in the queue to be
processed it is not shown.
B: This side panel shows any problems that need to be addressed. If there are broken links,
patrons that need clearing, or e-mails that have not been sent, a corresponding icon will
appear in this panel. Please see chapter 21 Status Icons, for more detail on status icons.
C: The status indicator gives a general idea of the number of items awaiting processing. It
moves from green to yellow to red to show how many pending requests are in the queue.
D: This is the main menu.
