C GUI Quick Reference
Most of the instructions in this guide describe how to perform Oracle Thesaurus Management System (TMS) functions by choosing menu paths in TMS windows. There are, however, many functions that you can execute in more than one way: in addition to the menu path, TMS provides a button or a keyboard shortcut for the same function.
Each quick reference section describes the functions that you can perform in TMS and, where applicable, the alternate methods you can use to execute that function. They are arranged in alphabetical order by function. Because TMS uses two sets of icons (one for standard TMS windows and another for batch job and report windows), there are two quick reference sections:
Only icons that are different from standard TMS windows are included in the latter section. For more information on the TMS graphic user interface, see Chapter 1, "Getting Started."
