Point of Sale offers several options for moving between program windows and selecting task actions. The illustration below will help familiarize you with the Point of Sale screens and navigation.

Program windows are laid out so that the completion of a task "flows" from the top/left towards the bottom/right of the screen.

The program includes the following menus and toolbars, which are common throughout the program (numbers correspond to numbers on example screen below):

1. Text Menus Across the top of the screen, the text menus contain options for all program areas/features, grouped by functional area.

2. Main Toolbar Selecting a task icon takes you directly to that area or activity. The display and icons included on the main tool bar can be customized to reflect the frequent activities performed at each workstation.

3. Window Menu - Lists all currently open Point of Sale windows. You can switch between active windows by selecting one from this list or pressing <Alt + Page Up/Page Down>. This list may also be available from the Windows icon on the main toolbar, as shown to the far right of the toolbar in the illustration.

4. Window Toolbar Contains task icons for common commands related to the currently active window and the I Want To menu (see below).
