Help for the
Top Screen Area
CONTENTS
Overview
The Top Screen Area consists of two narrow horizontal bars that run across the top of all TIARA screens. The upper bar is the "Blue Menu Bar", which contains several user-selectable controls . The lower bar is the "Header Bar", which displays header information
relevant to the active TIARA screen. The background of the Header Bar matches
that of the Main-Display Screen Area, but does not scroll with the Main-Display Screen Area. The Header Bar never contains any user-selectable controls.
User-Selectable Controls
Blue Menu Bar
- "Back" image link - Click "Back" to move backwards to previously viewed screens. Use the Blue Menu
Bar "Back" feature to "back up" within the TIARA web site
-- do not use your browser's standard Back function. Use of your
browser's standard Back function will give incorrect and unpredictable
results. The "Back" feature has a maximum history depth of
approximately 50 screens.
- "Forward" image link - Click "Forward" to move
forward to previously viewed screens. Use the Blue Menu Bar
"Forward" feature to "move forward" within the TIARA web site -- do not
use your browser's standard Forward function. Use of your browser's
standard Forward function will give incorrect and unpredictable results.
The "Forward" feature has a maximum history depth of approximately
50 screens.
- "Home" image link - Click "Home" to display the TIARA home page screen. This action is exactly the same as clicking on the TIARA logo at the top of the Left Screen Area.
- "Help" image link - Click "Help" to display a context-sensitive help screen
approrpiate to the active TIARA screen. The help screen will open in a
separate copy of your browser so that it can be
viewed on top of the active TIARA screen. The Help Window can
be moved and resized as desired. Use your
browser's "Back" and "Forward" buttons to move within
and among the available help screens.
- "Restart" image link - Click "Restart" to return
the TIARA web site to its "start up" state. This
button has the same apparent functionality as the "Home" home
button, i.e., the TIARA home page screen will be displayed, but, in
addition, a variety of internal parameters are reset. This feature may be useful in situations where the site appears to be returning anomalous results.
Header Bar
The Header Bar never contains any user-selectable controls.
