The Workplace
MERLIN LEGEND Reporter works with all basic elements in Windows — icons, menus,
and dialog boxes. Setup automatically creates the main menu and icons for various
tasks.
Menus and Dialog Boxes
The main menu displays the titles of pull-down menus. All operations are initiated here,
through a system of sub-menus like the one shown below.
An ellipsis (...) next to an
option leads to a dialog box
— for example:
A triangle (
) leads to a
“cascading” sub-menu.
Dimmed options are not
accessible to you.
Dialog boxes are used to provide instructions to complete a task. To do so, you provide
all requested information in the list boxes , text boxes , or check boxes and
then use a command button to carry out the operation.
