# Working with the WebAdmin

To operate the WebAdmin tool, enter your communication server URL in a browser. We recommend the browser Firefox 4 onwards or Internet Explorer 10 onwards or Chrome.

Note:

Two users may access the system configuration at any given time and modify the data.

After you have logged on as Administrator or System Assistant, you access the home page.

The navigation tree with the entries of the main menus is situated on the left-hand side.

The right-hand side displays the sub menu, the overview or the edit view.

The filter function of WebAdmin displays only list entries that meet the filter criterion. All list columns are taken into consideration.

Enter the filter criterion in the input field near the Filter button then click the Filter button.

To delete a filter criterion, click the delete icon between the input field for the filter criterion and Filter button.
