Common user interface elements in the classic EAC in EOP

This section describes the user interface elements that are found in the EAC.

The left navigation pane is the first level of navigation for most tasks in the EAC. The feature pane is organized into feature areas.

  • Home: Various cards show information about your organization.
  • Recipients: Manage groups, mail contacts, and mail users.
  • Mail flow: Run a message trace, manage mail flow rules (also known as transport rules), accepted domains, connectors, and alert policies.

Tabs

The tabs are your second level of navigation. Each feature area contains various tabs, each representing a feature.

List View

When you select a tab, in most cases you see a list view. The viewable limit with the EAC list view is approximately 10,000 objects. Paging is included so that you can page to results.

Details flyout

When you select an object from the list view, information about that object is displayed in a details flyout that opens. The details flyout often includes management tasks.

Supported Browsers

For the best experience using the EAC, we recommend that you always use the latest browsers, Office clients, and apps. We also recommend that you install software updates when they become available. For more information about the supported browsers and system requirements for the service, see System requirements for Office.
