User interface

After logging in to RetailVista ERP, the main screen will appear, which will look roughly like this. Each tile contains a module for which a license has been obtained. There are also smaller tiles that cannot be selected, representing modules for which no license has been found.

Toolbar

In the top left corner, there is a toolbar with icons for data maintenance. It may happen that one or more icons are not supported on the active screen, causing them to be light gray and non-functional. For example, the RetailVista start screen does not support adding, modifying, or deleting data. It may also be the case that certain data has permissions applied, restricting a user from adding, modifying, and/or deleting data. In such cases, the corresponding icon will be light gray, and a 'tooltip' will be displayed when hovering over it, explaining why the icon is not available.

The icons in this toolbar have the following functions:

	These icons can also be operated with the PgUp and PgDn keys. These two icons are intended to jump to the next or previous record in the search results screen. In the search results screen, you can sort on almost every column, determining the sorting and thus the next or previous data.
	This icon can also be operated with the key combination Ctrl+F. This icon brings back the search screen. Initially, it goes back to the search results. By using the shortcut (Ctrl+F) again, all search criteria are cleared, and a new search query can be entered.
	This icon can also be operated with the F2 key. By using this shortcut, the focus is placed in the first field of the screen that can be entered. This is useful when it is not clear whether the focus is in a data field of the screen question, and typing the value uploaded. After typing the value, the Enter key is pressed, and the search is started.
	This icon can also be operated with the Esc key. By using this shortcut, the search screen is exited, and the original screen is opened again.
