2 Introducing the Common User Interface Controls

Oracle Retail applications, such as, Oracle Retail Sales Audit, include some common interface options and controls that you can use throughout the application workflow. The following sections describe these user interface controls in more detail.

Although you may have more than one Oracle Retail application installed on your system, each application may use many of the same interface components and abide by common rules and constraints.

The following topics are covered in this chapter:

Using the Help

This application contains an online HTML help that can guide you through the user interface. User information is included to describe high-level processes and procedures, as well as provide step-by-step instructions for completing a task.

You can access online help for a particular page by clicking on the Help link at the top of the application home page. Once in the help, you can access additional information through the table of contents or by using the index.

Tasks Menu

Oracle Retail applications support a variety of navigational tools and methods that allow you to move efficiently between application pages. Information on how to use and manage each of the tools and methods is included in this section.

A task is a set of links to a series of task flows organized in a specific sequence to accomplish a business process or procedure. For example, tasks can be defined for common multi-step procedures or processes so that you can quickly step through tasks. By navigating sequentially to the pages outlined in the task, you are assisted in stepping through the business process or activity.

Your Tasks list appears on the extreme left side of the home page. All of the tasks to which you have access appear in the list on the Tasks window. You can either click on the specific task name to open or use the Task Search component to search for a Task that you want to open.

To begin working with a task, choose the application feature or process from the list.


Note:

Your Tasks menu may appear slightly different, depending on your retail application.
