	Fit whole screen. Enables you to fit the entire topology design to the current screen size.
	Configure Monitors. Opens the Configure Monitors dialog box, enabling you to manually configure SiteScope monitors on the selected node. For details about creating SiteScope monitors, see the HP SiteScope User Guide. Note: When configuring monitors for these components in SiteScope, the value for Monitor Run Settings > Frequency should be changed to a more suitable value, such as 5 - 15 seconds.
	Deploy Monitor Templates. Opens the Deploy Monitor Templates Status dialog box, enabling you to configure SiteScope monitors on the selected node automatically by deploying a template monitor set.

Palette tab	Enables you to select components to add to the canvas. The palette includes various types of server categories, as well as a Miscellaneous category. This category includes nodes that are not necessarily AUT-specific but that complete the topology design, such as a user or a client workstation.
AUT Hosts tab	Enables you to manage all AUT hosts defined in the AUT host pool. Includes the following options: Add New AUT Host. Opens the Add AUT Host dialog box, enabling you to add a new AUT host. For more details, see Add / Update AUT Host Dialog Box. Tip: If you have a list of AUT hosts set up in an Excel file, you can import this list instead of adding the hosts one by one. For details, refer to the HPE ALM Lab Management Guide: How to Import AUT Host Data from Excel. Update AUT Host. Opens the Update AUT Host dialog box, enabling you to modify AUT host details. For more details, see Add / Update AUT Host Dialog Box. Delete AUT Host. Deletes selected AUT host.
Topology canvas	Provides a canvas where you can lay out the topology by dragging components/server nodes and linking them to each other.
Properties	Enables you to define properties for the node selected on the canvas. The lower section of the Properties pane displays a description of the selected property.
Navigator	Enables you to drag the topology's structure to a new position on the canvas.
