Help! My navigation bar has disappeared! (Helpful if you have a small screen and a wide form to fill in.)
3. (Almost) everything you do creates a new tab Click on the [x] to close a tab Or log out to close all tabs
But closing a tab does not always prompt you to save your work
Your session will time out eventually ... and you will lose all your unsaved work.
4. Save typing with Alt-F9 and Text fields with a fill button on the right can be autocompleted. This also validates the data in the field.
Auto-complete and validate • If there is only one valid completion, auto-complete uses it. • If there is more than one completion, auto-complete supplies a list to choose from. • For some fields if the field is empty, auto-complete opens a search form.
Dealing with lists Select from this list by clicking anywhere on the line 50 records by default per page. Next page, previous page, first page, last page, jump to page… Hit the“Count Records” button to see exactly how many.
Exercise • Make sure your navigation bar is visible. If it isn’t, make it appear. • Expand “Menu Navigation”. Find “Incident Management” and expand that. Click on “Open New Incident”. If you don’t have this, look for “Register New Interaction” under “Service Desk”. • Locate the“Service Recipient” field. Start typing your username into it, and then auto-fill the field. • Decide to do something else – “x” the tab.
