The Information panel contains different information depending on the active view. For instance, when the Browser View is active, object information, description, web reference link and available tasks are displayed for the currently selected object. Clicking on the Object Properties link opens the property window of the object whereas clicking on a task executes it.
If the Query WMI view is active, the Information panel displays a web reference link to WQL (WMI Query Language), as well as links to recently executed queries.
Note: WMIX offers reference and help links to WMI objects and the WMI Query Language. These links point to external web sites which provide WMI information. By default, the English version of the WMI Microsoft® web site is configured for WMI class and WQL information. However, you can configure any URL in the Referenced URLs category in the WMIX Options.
