Tabs
Information is organized into tabbed windows. Clicking a tab brings the related window forward.
The tab that is currently forward is active. All other tabs in the background are inactive.
To close the currently active tab (and window), from the menu bar, select ‘Window > Close Active
Tab’. The active tab closes.
To close all inactive tabs, from the menu bar, select ‘Window > Close Inactive Tabs’. The inactive
tabbed windows close, but the active tab remains open.
Tables
Data entered in a page or wizard is saved in tables. Tables are accessed through the ‘Views’ pane.
Tables can be adjusted to make viewing information easier:
• Adjust the position and width of the table columns by sliding the column dividers between the
column headers.
• Sort the table based on the data in a specific column by clicking the column header. Clicking
once gives an ascending sort (Z to A); clicking again gives a descending sort (A to Z).
• Some dialog boxes or pages have check boxes. When a check box is checked, the correspond-
ing item is selected; if a check box is unchecked, the item is deselected.
Entering Data
Data is entered in fields. Fields can be “free text” in which you type in the data, or fields have drop-
