3 Overview

Active Retail Intelligence is accessed from the Active Retail Intelligence start form, or from any of several places in RMS, depending on whether you are using Active Retail Intelligence or setting up and maintaining Active Retail Intelligence.

Dialogs

The Active Retail Intelligence user interface consists of two main parts:

• Dialogs for setting up and maintaining Active Retail Intelligence for your business

• Dialogs and displays for end users to use Active Retail Intelligence after it is set up

Common Buttons and Controls

All of these dialogs share a common set of buttons and use several common user interface controls.
