User Interface

The typical user interface consists of the following components.

• Window Title Bar: Shows the module and application name.

• Toolbar: Contains a set of button functions that are specific to the module being used.

• Status Bar: Appears at the bottom of each module window and is divided into four panes.

  • Pane 1: If there are any uncleared alarms, this pane displays a colored or blinking icon showing the alarm status.

  • Pane 2: If there are any uncleared alarms, this pane displays text describing the number of alarms, as well as their state.

  • Pane 3: Shows the number of items in the table.

  • Pane 4: Displays the username of the logged-in operator, as well as the IP address or hostname of the workstation.

• Table Columns: Column visibility and order may be edited using the Columns button. Column width may be adjusted by dragging the edge of the column header. Selecting a column header will cause the column to be sorted either alphabetically or numerically. Selecting the column header a second time reverses the order.

• Table: Shows a list of items. Selecting an item within the table enables the use of certain buttons. Right-clicking an item will bring up a menu of actions performable upon that item. Each module has a different table.

• Menu Bar: From here, you can open new modules, close modules and/or the application, and retrieve Entré application help. The menu bar is the same for all modules.
