Working with Menus

All HP Easytime/iX menus appear on the menu bar. The menu bar appears directly below the title bar. Each menu contains a list of available tasks (menu items) that let you determine what action to take next. You can also access the Main menu from the menu bar on any HP Easytime/iX screen.

To open a menu

You can open any menu in HP Easytime/iX by going to the menu bar and pressing the key that corresponds to the underlined letter in the menu that you want to open. For example, to open the Actions menu:

Press F4 to go to the menu bar.
Press A to open the Actions menu.

You can also use F2 {{Fast Select}} and an underlined character for a faster method of opening menus. For example, press F2 A to open the Actions menu.

To choose a menu item

All HP Easytime/iX tasks are listed on menus. You perform tasks by choosing the menu item.

Press the key that corresponds to the underlined character in the menu item that you want. For example, press
D for Delete.
Or, use [utrif] or [dtrif] to highlight the menu item that you want, and press Return.

To close a menu

Press F4 again to close a menu and exit the menu bar.
Or, press [rtrif] or [ltrif] to open other menus on the menu bar.
You automatically close one menu when you open another.

To understand menu conventions

Not all HP Easytime/iX menu items look the same. Menu items can be shaded, preceded by an asterisk, highlighted, or followed by an ellipsis (...). Additionally, each menu item has one letter underlined. The following table explains HP Easytime/iX menu conventions.

`Menu convention`	`Definition`
Shaded	This menu item or screen is not available. This can be because you are currently working on this screen, or because system administrator access is required to perform the task.
Ellipsis (...)	Indicates that a dialog box or another screen will appear when you select this item.
Asterisk	Indicates which default setting is active.
Underlined Character	Indicates which key to press to access a menu or to select a menu item.
