Product Administration Guide > Overview >

Screens, Views, and Navigation

Product Administration and Application Administration are the two screens you will use most frequently to perform the tasks in this guide. The Product Administration screen is where you create and manage both simple and customizable products.

The Application Administration screen is where you define the product classification system and its attributes. You also define lists of values and other things that support product definitions.

Navigate to the Product Administration and Application Administration screens by using the Site Map, located in the View menu. Both these screens contains several views. You can navigate to these views using the Site Map or by using drop-down menus within the screens.

When you create a record, stepping off of it causes the record to be saved automatically. However, after you create a record, you should open the list or form menu and click Save. This is good operating practice and minimizes errors in creating or editing records.

Included in many views is a More Info tab. When you click this tab, the view expands to display additional information about the record selected in the associated list. This information is displayed in a form. In some cases, this information can be even further expanded by clicking the show more button located in the upper-right corner of the form.

When you do queries, in some cases the query results display as one record in the More Info form. To see all the records returned by the query, click the More Info tab. The form contracts and is replaced by a list of all the query records.

The path syntax used throughout the Guide is based on an English language installation in Windows 2000 environment. Modify the path syntax as needed for other languages and operating systems.
