About the console window
The console is a command line terminal for the command interface. Use it to explore, test and issue command interface commands. You can also chain multiple Actions with a single command.
The prompt > is printed by the system and indicates the start of the command. You issue commands in the console by typing a command after the prompt and pressing Enter.
Commands are case insensitive. They are also space insensitive for Object names.
Generally, you issue commands to filter Objects or execute an Action.
