Conventions in this Guide |
||
Before we get started, let’s cover a few of the conventions used throughout this guide to describe the processes you’ll use as you work in TOTAL for Tablet PC.
- Menus – Menus are at the top of the window throughout TOTAL for Tablet PC. They are labeled “File,” “Tools,” etc. to provide a general indication of what each menu contains.
- PowerView – Functions in TOTAL for Tablet PC are arranged in screens called “PowerViews.” When a file is open, you’ll notice buttons at the top labeled “Order,” “Form,” “Comps,” etc. to indicate which functions each of these PowerViews contain. Simply click any of these buttons to switch PowerViews and address the corresponding sections of your report.
- Select – When this guide tells you to select something, it means to click it once. Often, an item that has been selected appears to be highlighted to indicate that you have selected it.
- Window/Dialog/Screen – Throughout this guide, we’ll use the terms “window” and “dialog” when referring to the active screen.
- Tabs – Some windows within TOTAL for Tablet PC have “tabs” to help you navigate through the content in the window. Tabs are effectively the same in TOTAL for Tablet PC as tabs you may find on manila folders you’d use to file physical copies of important documents. You’ll notice these throughout TOTAL for Tablet PC, particularly as you fill out your forms.
- Links, URL’s, web addresses, and hyperlinks – Each of these items refer to nearly the same thing. Links and hyperlinks are actually just words that you can click to “link” to another program, website, or other content. Typically, these “links” are indicated by their appearance as they are often blue and underlined. “Web addresses” and “URL’s” refer to the address connected to the hyperlink. For instance, a link to our training page, would take you to the “web address” or “URL” of http://www.alamode.com/training
- Fields - Fields are any places in TOTAL for Tablet PC – whether in a form or in a dialog box - where you can type information.
- Drop-down lists/Picklists - Often, fields in a TOTAL for Tablet PC form or dialog box will have an arrow displayed on the right side of them. By clicking the arrow, you can access a picklist of items. You can also use the Alt+Down Arrow keyboard shortcut to open these lists.
- Pop-up Lists – Similar to Drop-down lists, only they will appear either above or below the link you click, depending upon where they appear on your screen.
