Administration Tools

This applet provides a collection of various administration tools. It is part of all request contexts and therefore, these tools can always be accessed by using internal URLs that start with the prefix internal://admin/.

In the following, all available administration tools are given as they appear within overview lists and are supplemented by an additional short description if necessary. Note that many tools just provide an HTML interface to corresponding dialogs with almost the same parameters, so no further description is given here in these cases.
