| - | === Graphic User Interface ===
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Metis Smart Quotes graphic user interface can be divided into 5 main parts as shown below:
| |
| - |
| |
| - |
| |
| - | [[File:MetisSmartQuotesZones.PNG|center]]
| |
| - |
| |
| - |
| |
| - | # The title bar
| |
| - | # The top buttons area
| |
| - | # The header area
| |
| - | # The menu area
| |
| - | # The core information area
| |
| - |
| |
| - |
| |
| - | The title bar shows the name of the application. Depending on certain settings, the release number and the version in which the Smart Quotes user is currently logged into may also appear.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | The top buttons area consists of the following buttons:
| |
| - | * 1, 2, 3: to open and work on 3 different offers at the same time. The Smart Quotes user receives a message when trying to open an offer which is already open in another window.
| |
| - | * Exchange: to export or import offers. This functionality is described in details in a [[Description of the Menu Exchange | separate section]].
| |
| - | * Addresses: to manage the companies and the contacts. This functionality is described in details in a [[Description of the Menu Addresses | separate section]].
| |
| - | * Setup: to define some settings and preferences when using the application. This functionality is described in details in a [[Description of the Menu Setup | separate section]].
| |
| - | * About Metis Smart Quotes: to get general information about the application's version or to contact the support. The features of the About Metis Smart Quotes window are described in details in a [[Description of the Menu About Smart Quotes | separate section]].
| |
| - |
| |
| - |
| |
| - | The header area shows the project, offer and system currently selected. On the left part, Project, Offer and System become active buttons once a project, an offer and/or a system have been selected. Clicking on one of these buttons opens the Edit Project, Edit Offer and the Edit System window respectively, no matter in which menu the Smart Quotes user currently is.
| |
| - |
| |
| - |
| |
| - | For the offer field, icons might appear as shown in the following examples:

| |

| |
| - |
| |
| - | [[File:MetisSmartQuotesHeaderWithCheckmarkIcon.PNG|center]]
| |
| - |
| |
| - |
| |
| - |
| |
| - | The green checkmark icon indicates that the currently open offer has been [[Description of the Menu Documents#Blocking an Offer | blocked]]. The padlock icon indicates that the currently open offer has been [[Description of the Menu Order | ordered]].
| |
| - |
| |
| - |
| |
| - | The menu tabs allow the user to navigate through the application. The list of available menus is described [[#Menus| below]].
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Once the application has been launched, the Open menu is displayed by default. The Project menu is accessible but not the other menus. The Design menu becomes available once an offer has been open or created. The Price, Notes, Documents and Order menus become available once an offer with system(s) has been open or once a system has been added to a new offer.
| |
| - |
| |
| - |
| |
| - | The contents of the core information area depends on the menu selected by the Smart Quotes user.
