You can switch between the views (by installing the appropriate license key) or use a
combination of them for your control panel. You can also specify what view should be
shown to other control panel users. To customize your control panel, refer to the
Customizing the Control Panel (on page 48) chapter.
Note: When Parallels Plesk Sitebuilder, the site creation and management program, is
installed on the server and Plesk is connected to it, a few more shortcuts related to
Sitebuilder management are added to the Plesk navigation pane. For more information
about connecting Plesk to Sitebuilder and using the shortcuts to Sitebuilder, refer to the
section Enabling Integration with Sitebuilder (on page 81).

Items in the Desktop View
The desktop view originally shows four sections:
Server Information. This shows your hostname, control panel version, operating
system and kernel versions, license key number, and system uptime.
Statistics. This shows average processor load for the last minute, five minutes, and
fifteen minutes, memory and disk space usage, number of served client accounts
and hosted domains (Web sites). The client accounts include accounts of resellers
and customers who have several sites—owners of a single domain are not counted.
Tools. This group shows shortcuts to the operations that you can perform through
the control panel. You can freely add and remove these shortcuts.
Favorites. This group shows five types of shortcuts sorted by type and placed on the
respective tabs. The Clients tab shows the shortcuts to administrative tools available
for a selected user account, the Domains tab shows shortcuts to domain
administration tools, the Mail Accounts tab shows shortcuts to the e-mail account
administration tools. The Shortcuts tab shows all other types of shortcuts that do not
relate to user accounts, domains and e-mail accounts. The Recent tab shows last
ten control panel screens you have been on. The Favorites group also provides
search tool for finding user accounts, web site hosting accounts, and e-mail
accounts. To use the search tool, select the item type from the drop-down box, type
the search criteria (this can be any combination of symbols, search is case
insensitive) and click Search.
