about_the_ui
SIP uses Internet technology to provide a User Interface (UI) in the form of a local, self hosted, web site. You can access the web interface from most devices with a browser such as a laptop, tablet, or phone. The pages of the UI consist of a page within a page. The parent or base page surrounds the child content pages on the left, top and bottom and contains the clock, header, a navigation bar, and footer. These elements are always visible except on the optional Login page.
On a small screen device, such as a phone, the UI can be zoomed with a 2 finger spread and pinch. Tabular features such as the timeline on the home page and the stations section of the Options page can be dragged horizontally to view hidden portions.
The clock shows the current local time and date. It can be configured on the Options page to display 24 hour (default) or 12 hour AM, PM format..
The header contains the SIP logo and if a System name other than SIP is entered in the System section of the Options page that name will be shown. This can be useful if more than one SIP system is being used.
Appears to be part of the content page but is actually part of the parent page. It provides a means of accessing UI pages of interest.
