Figure 4 - This is an example of SENTRY’s Main Menu which provides access to the four submenus and
divides SENTRY into four logical sections.
These four selections outline the four logical divisions of SENTRY. Each division is a collection of
programs which perform related tasks.
The documentation mirrors this organization: There are four major sections. Each section is introduced via
a figure of the Main Menu and a short description of the processes which may be performed from that
particular menu selection. Note that the section topic appears in bold print to amplify the Main Menu
selection used to invoke the submenu for that topic.
Each submenu is introduced in the same manner. Each selection on each submenu is documented through a
sample screen. A description of each field and its use is presented.
In using the menus please note that "on-line" help is available. At the menu selection prompt, enter
HELP <RETURN>
Then enter the number of the menu item for which you would like to receive help.
