These are features common to all forms in Total Activity Control:
• The Edit and Search Tabs are both resizable.
• The system remembers last location of the form on the screen.
• You can have multiple copies of the same form open at the same time, looking at different customers or sites.
• Grid color banding can set for each form separately via the Right-Click Action Menu.
• Font size and type used in the grid can be set for each form separately via the Right-Click Action Menu.
• A Spell Checker is available on all note fields, with the option to add words specific to your business.
• If you have multiple monitors, you can expand the main window across them, giving you more room to open and use the forms in the system.
• You can directly access other features and information via the Right-Click Action Menu on each grid.
The Right-Click Action Menu is a menu you bring up by right clicking on any grid display. It is a short-cut feature that allows you to get from where you are to where you want to be without having to go through multiple intervening forms.
Some of the capabilities of action menus are found on most or all of the form grids, such as
View site master
View an entry
Add a new entry
Edit an existing entry
Mail entry to driver, site or customer
Some of the capabilities of action menus are found on only certain form grids, based on the type of forms they are. Examples are:
View Site Map
Vehicle History
Generate an Invoice
Deliver or remove rental units
Many of the multi-tab forms allow you to size and position each tab separately. This allows you to have a large search window and still keep the edit tab sized for easy use. The way to set the sizes is as follows.
Bring up the form with the search tab selected, then set the form size, column order, grid coloring and font size. Then exit the form with the Search tab chosen. Now bring up the form and select the Edit tab and set the size and location and exit the form with the Edit tab chosen. Now as you change between the Search and edit tabs, the TAC system will restore each tab to its correct size and location.
