Main User Interface

Main Title Bar

The software's title bar contains navigation menus for accessing all its features. Here's a simplified overview of these menus:

1. Job Orders This menu includes sub-menus for searching and listing job orders. You can locate and manage jobs in various states here.

2. Invoices: Access the Invoice search and list screen for managing invoices.

3. Catalog: Use this to reach Catalogue Data screens, where you can define reusable data like tests and units of measurement for Job Orders.

4. Directory: Similar to the Catalog, this provides access to the Directory for defining reusable data such as offices and legal entities for Job Orders.

5. Reports: Available only to certain users like managers and executives, this menu allows generating various reports.

6. User Menu: Shows the logged-in user's name and includes three sub-menus:

   1. People Details View company and personal information linked to your account. See Company/People Directory for more.

7. User Details: Update your account information here. Refer to User Accounts for additional details.

8. Log Out: Ends your current session and logs you out.

Please note:

• Menu availability varies based on your user role.

• For those with access to other TIC Systems, an extra menu in the title bar provides access to these systems without needing to log in again, as your current login credentials are valid across systems.

The system's sub-screens, like the one for Job Orders, typically feature a search and listing page for managing entities. Here's a breakdown of the main components:

The main components of the search screen are:

1. Bread Crumbs: Displays the current page and the navigational path you took to get there.

2. Actions Menu: Offers specific actions related to the current screen, such as creating new entities.

3. Search Fields: These fields enable you to filter and easily locate entities.

4. Search/Clear Buttons: The 'Search' button filters the list based on search field inputs. The 'Clear' button erases search criteria. Remember to click 'Find' after using 'Clear'.

5. Filters: Customize the results display to show entities in specific states, like 'Draft' or 'Active'. This feature is particularly tailored for the Job Order screen.

6. Listing: Shows entities found using search criteria. Initially, all entities are displayed. You can sort the list by clicking on column titles, but note that sorting might not be available for columns showing multiple values per row.

7. Entity Actions Dropdown: This menu allows you to perform specific actions on an entity, such as modify or delete. Generally, the 'modify' action opens a screen similar to the 'Create' option in the Actions menu.
