Tooltips

A tooltip is a small popup window that displays descriptive text. Tooltips are available for most STA screen icons, buttons, graphic images, and text items. Move the mouse over an item to display the tooltip.

Object Selection

You can select most STA objects—items in dialog box lists, table columns, and table rows, for example. In addition, the STA interface supports multi-select for many object types. The STA documentation identifies when multi-select is supported and when it is not.

The following examples use the Reorder Columns dialog box, which appears when you select View > Reorder Columns from the List Table Toolbar.

Multi-select

Time Zone Adjustments

Dates and times of events displayed by the STA user interface are automatically adjusted to the user’s local time zone. For example, an exchange with a start time of 02:43 on a library in San Francisco will show a start time of 08:43 for an STA user in Brasilia, and 17:43 for a user in Jakarta.
