To select an item displayed on a menu:The system's menu bar is at the top of the screen and has drop down menu options. Each of these options is displayed with a function key option and a text display of the menu contents, such as F3–Orders.
The function keys are across the top of your computer's keyboard. To activate any menu option, use the corresponding function key to display the drop-down menu. Each menu option has a highlighted letter used for keyboard selection. An ellipsis (...) next to a menu option indicates that selecting this option displays another menu with more options.
During system installation, the system administrator assigns menus to the function keys F1-F7. These menus are company-defined. Each company determines the menus users need to access from their terminals. For example, a user in the Accounting department may not need to access the Warehouse Management menu. Only menus appropriate for accounting appear on this user's terminal. Authorization keys determine a user's display.
The system administrator then creates and assigns these menus to each user. The function key F8 is used to toggle between menus if the menus exceed the F1-F7 assignments.
