General Navigation

 

InFocus utilizes a Module>Applet approach where the Module represents the area of core functionality and the Applet the on-screen activities. For purposes of this manual, InFocus locations are referenced as follows (for example): Project Management>Project Central. InFocus navigates from left to right: When selecting a Module>Applet, InFocus displays the interactive contents (Tabs, Buttons, Grids, etc) of the selected applet. The InFocus main screen additionally supports Split Tab making it easy for users to cross reference work or view applet information side by side. For example, the following depicts a user working in the Sales Journal with the Project Central applet open in a split tab allowing the user to dynamically load projects from the Sales detail to the Projects applet.
