Working With the API Management

Navigating Within API Management

The main elements of API Management are Clients, Plans and APIs which need to be grouped by an Organization (refer to The Concepts of API Management for details). Since you mainly work with these four elements, API Management makes it easier for you to search and navigate within them.

Wherever you are in API Management, you can always navigate to the list of all your…

• Clients

• Organizations

• Plans

• Notifications

Depending on which display you prefer, you can use the view icon to switch between tile and list view:

Icon	Description
	Click Show as list to set the list view.
	Click Show tiles to set the tile view.

If you click on a tile, the corresponding element (API, client, organization or plan) will open:

You can also open the related details directly if you click one of the displayed grey labels.

• Organization Settings

• API Settings

• Plan Settings

• Client Settings
