Function Buttons
At the bottom of the screen is an area for up to ten
function buttons
. These function
buttons perform functions that are specific to the particular screen. Each function
button on the screen corresponds to a function key on the keyboard read from left to
right (F1, F2, F3, etc.). The screen function buttons are labeled with the action the
function button performs and the corresponding keyboard function key.
Options Button
Within the working area, and occasionally on screens or dialog boxes, are buttons that
perform a different function than the "F" numbered function buttons. These buttons,
called
options buttons
, appear triangular in shape (
▼
) and often accompany a text
field. When an options button is selected, it presents a list of items, or options, from
which a user may choose.
Message Bar
The blue bar at the bottom of the screen is the
message bar
. This bar is used for
instructions and error messages. The first line displays instructions and the second
line displays error messages. These messages are related to activities in the working
area. (Refer to Figure 2.18.)
