Virtually every screen in every System has a menu bar located beneath the title bar. The tools that can be used on this screen are arranged in the menus. The most common menu bar has four options: File, Record, Windows, and Help.
To access menu options use the mouse or keyboard shortcuts.
To access an option with the mouse, click on the drop-down menu title. Then, click on the option.
To access an option using the keyboard, press <ALT> key and the menu option underlined character. Then, press the key corresponding to the underlined character of the sub menu. For example, to select Reports from the File menu, press <ALT> + <F>, then <R>.
The File menu can open the reports screen and can also exit the screen. The File menu can also jump to all the screens included in this system.
The common File menu is illustrated to the left.
