Navigating Around Jiwa 

Jiwa has made full use of the windows graphic interface and sets a new standard for business management presentation.  All modules are integrated to allow for real-time processing.  All screens have the same look and feel as well as the same function keystrokes.

Function keys are customisable per user. This Topic will only discuss the standard function keys that ship with JIWA

Image Description
Minimise button to reduce the window to an icon
  Restore button to restore the window size
  Close button to shut down the window
Tabs As you open a form or a report it displays as the Tab at the top of the screen. The active tab is the one with a white background. Point and click to move between Tabs. Click the X to close a Tab. There is no limit to the number of Tabs you can have open in a session

Dialogue Boxes When a dialogue box is open, you cannot do anything else until executing one of the buttons on the bottom of the form closes the dialogue box.  The default button is the one with the thick black line around it.  Press [ENTER] to activate the button.
