Component Tab Menu and Other Links


Concept

During this lesson we will explain what a component tab menu is all about.


Steps:

  1. Click the Sign In button.

    Step 1

  2. For this example we will navigate to the Job Data page.

     

    Click the Main Menu button.

    Step 2

  3. Click the Workforce Administration menu.

    Step 3

  4. Click the Job Information menu.

    Step 4

  5. Click the Job Data menu.

    Step 5

  6. We will pull an employee record to view the Job Data page details.

     

    Click in the Last Name field.

    Step 6

  7. Enter "Nayar" into the Last Name field.

    Step 7

  8. The type ahead provides you with a list of options to choose from based on your entry.

     

    Click the NAYA object.

    Step 8

  9. Click the Search button.

    Step 9

  10. To enter data in a CONNECT you will first access a component. In this example we are accessing Job Data Components consist of one to several pages within the same window. Usually these are pages that are related and need to be completed in succession.

    Step 10

  11. To move between the pages, you can select the folder tabs or ...

     

    Click the Job Information tab.

    Step 11

  12. ... or click the links at the bottom of each page.

    Step 12

  13. Occasionally you will see pages that, in addition to having links to other pages in the component, have links to related components or pages. The related links appear at the bottom of the transaction area above the toolbar. Click any of these links to access that page or component. This convenience enables you to move easily to related transactions for the same key field to enter data without going through the search process again.

     

    When you click a component link, you will notice that the new transaction contains the same component links, enabling you to return to the original transaction if desired. The component or page in which you are working appears in black text and is not underlined. Some applications may identify these related links in another way. For example, you might see the phrase "Go to:" along with the related links at the bottom of a page. You might also see a list box with "…More," which contains several more related transaction links.

    Step 13

  14. You can use the New Window link to open a new browser window, or child window. The new window shows the current component page as well as the navigation to your current position. From this window, you can view or enter data. You can open as many child windows as needed using the New Window link.

     

    Do not use your browser's File > New > Window feature. Doing so copies the current HTML from the parent window, instead of opening a new CONNECT-maintained window session.
