 +====== Interface manager ======
 ~~NOTOC~~ ~~NOTOC~~
 +Interface is a **customized** selection of data columns displayed in the [[te3:admin_panel#Stats table|Stats table]]. TE3 "Interface manager" enables you to create various interfaces corresponding to your traffic trading actions, switch between them with just one click, or edit them at any time.
 +
 +{{:te3:interface_tut15.png?nolink |}} {{:te3:tut_step_1.png?nolink|}} **Open "interface manager" drop-down menu** \\ \\  \\ \\ 
 +{{:te3:tut_step_2.png?nolink|}} **Switch between interfaces**   \\ \\  \\ \\  \\ \\ {{:te3:tut_step_3.png?nolink|}} **Edit interfaces** \\ \\ \\ {{:te3:tut_step_4.png?nolink|}} **Add new interfaces** \\ \\  
 +
 +
 +You can create and display interfaces in the following menus: [[te3:overview|Overview]], [[te3:pages|Pages]], [[te3:network|Network]] and Settings / Sign-up page / [[te3:signup#Webmaster statistics|Webmaster statistics]].
 +
 +----
 +
 +===== Select interface =====
 +
 +
 +Click on the {{:te3:customize_button1.png?nolink|}} ''Interfaces'' button to open the "Interface manager drop-down". Select the inteface you wish to survey, click on it and it will be loaded into the stats table. Selected interface is stored into a cookie. Next time you open this menu, last selected interface will be automatically displayed.  
 +
 +<WRAP caution>We have pre-added a "Default" interface with stats for basic traffic trading actions. Although you can edit it, we advise you to create new interfaces and experiment with the settings you prefer.</WRAP>
 +
 +----
 +
 +===== Add new interfaces =====
 +
 + Click {{:te3:interface_plus.png?nolink|''+''}} icon in the footer and open a "Customize interface" window. [[te3:interface_manager_available_parameters|Available parameters]] are sorted into 12 expandable sections - enable a preferred parameter by ''check boxing'' it and it will be displayed as a column of data in the stats table (if you ''check box'' a section, you enable every parameter in the section). 
 +
 +A new interface already has default parameters enabled, but you can disable them, enable those you prefer and completely modify it to suit your needs:
 +  * reposition all sections and parameters - simply drag them up and down and change column order.
 +  * rename the enabled parameters - to view original column name, hold mouse over the ''input field'' and it will appear in the tooltip. 
 +  * further customize your intefaces by setting a desired colour for each individual column. 
 +
 +
 +
 +++++ Example: Add new interface |
 +Let's create an interface with [[te3:forces|Forces]] stats enabled:
 +
 +<fs 125%>**Step by step**</fs>

 + \\ \\ \\ 
 +{{:te3:interface10.png?nolink |}} \\ \\ \\  {{:te3:tut_step_3.png?nolink|}} Select parameters you wish to enable. We'll enable ''Forces'' stats - you can ''Mass checkbox'' the whole section, or expand the accordion and ''Checkbox'' individual stats.  \\ \\ \\  \\ \\ \\  \\ \\ \\  \\ \\ \\  \\ \\ \\ {{:te3:tut_step_4.png?nolink|}} Select a name for the new interface - we'll choose "forces".
 +
 +{{:te3:tut_step_5.png?nolink|}} Click {{:te3:button_save.png?nolink|}} or press ''Enter'' to save the interface. \\ \\

Then click anywhere in the large square to refine your selection. \\ \\ {{:te3:tut_step_4.png?nolink|}} Click {{:te3:button_ok.png?nolink|}} to set the color and {{:te3:button_save.png?nolink|}} the interface. \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\
