User interface components
This table shows the primary components of the Distribution SX.e user interface:
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Application Menu bar | Contains the button and Address field, and shows the open functions. |
| Grid | See Grids. |
| Window | Displays the function. Functions may be comprised of multiple windows or multiple tabs, or views, on one window. |
| Window header | Shows the function name and can include other information and components, such as record names and numbers, additional menus, and toolbars. |
| Panel | Collapsible area to the left or right of a window that
contains function-related features and information. In inquiry and setup
functions, the left panel typically contains the Search section and the Recently
Visited section. See Searching. In transaction entry functions, the left panel contains Header Information and the Header Totals sections. Transaction entry functions also include a right panel which shows the products on the order and the net amount. Most panels are expanded by default until you collapse them. Controlled by the menu function, the state of each panel is retained in your browser's local storage from session to session. It is retained per machine, based on your operator and company. In CloudSuite Distribution, retention is also based on your tenant. Some panels and sections are expanded or collapsed, based on your activities. The state of such panels are not subject to retention. The far right panel contains the Infor Ming.le context applications. |
| Section | Collapsible area
that contains related fields, controls, and information. Sections might also be
called 'cards'. Most sections are presented in the expanded state, but you can select the default state through Personalization. Controlled individually within each menu function, the state of each section within a panel is retained in your browser's local storage from session to session. It is retained per machine, based on your operator, company, and tenant. |
| Toolbar | See Toolbars. |
| Wizard | See Wizards. |
Data dependency
The data in a record sometimes determines if user interface components, such as windows, tabs, and sections, are displayed. For example, the Nonstock section in Sales Order Inquiry-Line Detail is not displayed if the line item is not a nonstock item.
Data dependency does not affect individual fields.
