What are the Window Components?
The E-Mon Energy™ application is designed to use parent (Main Viewing Window) and child (Task Window)
windows. The parent window is the main viewing window. Within the parent window are child windows that open
when a user selects a menu item. The following figure illustrates an example of the parent and child windows.
Figure 4.5 - Parent and Child Window
Parent Window
The Parent Window is the primary area within the E-Mon Energy window. The Parent Window is where the
child window opens to perform a command or action. Multiple child windows can be open at the same time
or sized, minimized or maximized like other window applications. When first opened, there are three child
windows minimized within the Parent window at the bottom, AMR Scheduled Task, Access Terminal, and
Auto Billing Cycle.
For additional information on the AMR Schedule Task, Access Terminal and
Auto Billing Cycle windows, refer to the related sections within this manual.
Child Windows
E-Mon Energy uses child windows to perform many of its tasks. The user can open multiple child windows
depending on the menu selections. As an example, the user selects Database and Connection; a child window
opens within the parent window.
The child windows can be resized by clicking on the minimized button or maximize at the top right-
hand corner of the title bar. To minimize and close the window temporarily, the user can click on the control
windows button and the window will reduce to a title bar within the parent window. The user needs only
to click on the maximize button, to open the window again.
