Types of Windows

Windows can be grouped into three types, based on the kind of information they contain and the way that it is presented. However, there are differences in the way you maneuver through a form window compared to the way you move through a menu window.

The three window types are menu, text, and form.

Menu windows contain sets of items, one of which you choose. To choose an item, select it and then press Enter . There are typically two ways to select an item:

Use your keyboard’s cursor movement keys to move the select bar.

Type the first character(s) of the item.

Text windows provide you with information or instructions too long to fit in the message line near the bottom of the screen.

Form windows are used widely throughout FAX Attendant. They are similar to paper forms and provide assorted information, all related to a single subject. The typical form contains prompts describing the information to be provided, and ‘‘blanks’’ where the information is to be filled in.

On-line Help

Most windows have a companion text window available that contains helpful reference information. FAX Attendant help windows are not designed to be a substitute for any of the documentation that accompanies the system. They indicate your activity options for a given window and briefly describe each of the options.

Moving Within a Window

There are several ways to maneuver through the various FAX Attendant windows. The following information reviews the different ways to move about in the windows.
