The main menu (#1) consists of the “File”, “View”, “Maintenance”, “Admin”, “Tools”, and “Help” menu options. The navigation menu (#2) contains hotlinks to the “Logs”, “Maps”, “Items”, and “Other” informational sections. The working area (#3) will display information on the currently loaded item.

#3Working Area
The working area contains the information that was loaded by you via the main menu or navigation menu. All informational actions are accomplished within this area. You have the ability to navigate, sort, filter, preview, print, show details, show sub-details, add records, edit records, delete records, and take other actions.
Once you load an item into the working area, the item’s name will appear as seen on #4, the item’s records will be displayed in the grid as seen on #5, and the information for the selected record will be displayed as seen on #6.
Action Icons
Once an item is loaded into the working area (#3) such as “Maps”, action icons as seen on #7 will be available for various tasks such as adding, editing, or deleting records. The availability of the action icons will depend on the type of item loaded and the security settings for each item’s records. For example, if you click on an action icon such as the “View Map” icon as shown in Figure 2, the related operation will be performed such as displaying the Map Viewer.
(Figure 2)
Sub-Items
Also each item will have sub-items with the sub-items having their own action icons. These sub-items can be used by you in order to record additional detail about the loaded item. Using Figure 2.1 as an example, if you loaded the item “Scouting Log” into the working area and create a scouting log record, the sub-items “Notes”, “Associated Person”, “Photographs”, “Natural/Farm Corps”, etc. will be visible giving you the ability to add as many sub-item records per sub-item type in order to collect your information. The action icons for sub-items and items work the same way. You can click on an action icon and the operation will be performed. The only difference between items and sub-items would be that all sub-item records are associated to the parent item record.
(Figure 2.1)
Basic Action Icons
The basic action icons for all items and sub-items are 1) add, 2) edit, and 3) delete.
“Add” 
Icon: Displays a blank data entry screen in order for you to enter information. If you save your changes, a new record will be created.
“Edit” 
Icon: Displays the data entry screen with the selected item or sub-item’s information in order for you to make changes. If you save your changes, the record will be updated.
“Delete” 
Icon: Gives you the ability to delete the selected item or sub-item record.
Available Map Hotlink
If an item such as "Sightings" is loaded into the working area (#3) with the record containing coordinates available on one or more existing maps, the automatically generated field "Available Map" will be shown as seen below in Figure 2.2. You must click on the hotlink in order to view the map.
(Figure 2.2)
Filter
If you have many records for an item and you wish to limit the number of records in the grid (#5), you can use the filter buttons as seen on #9. The “Filter” button will display a dialog as shown in Figure 3 in order for you to select the criteria you wish to use to limit the records displayed in the grid (#5). You can change the filter any time or simply clear the filter by using the “Reset Filter” button.
(Figure 3)
Sort
You also have the option to sort the records currently displayed in the grid (#5) by selecting the “Sort” button (#9) which will display a dialog as shown in Figure 4. You can select as many fields as needed to sort your information. However, you must select a single field at a time from the “Available Fields” column and use the “Add” button to move the field to the “Sort by Fields” column. You can also use the up/down arrows located above the “Sort by Fields” column to reposition the sort order. If you wish to remove a field from the “Sort by Fields” column, you must select the field and click on the “Remove” button. After you have completed the adding and/or removal of sort fields and have clicked the “OK” button, the new sort order will be applied to the grid (#5).
(Figure 4)
Navigate
You can navigate the records in the grid (#5) by using the navigation buttons as seen on #10, or by using the scroll bar on the right side of the grid. The navigation buttons (#10) will allow you to navigate to the first, prior, next, or last record as shown in Figure 5.
(Figure 5)
Show Details/Sub-Details
You have the option to show details and sub-details (#8) of information for the selected record as seen in #6. When the “Details” option is checked 
the default option, the information displayed in the area of #6 is visible. If unchecked, the information is not visible. Also, the “Sub-Details” option gives you the ability to display additional information in the area of #6, when checked 
.

You have the ability to preview and/or print the information displayed in the area of #6. If you click on the “Preview” button, the preview screen will be displayed as shown in Figure 6. If you click on the “Print” button, the print dialog will be displayed as shown in Figure 7. Although, both the “Preview” and “Print” button will allow you to print the displayed information, the “Print” button is the only option that will also print the icons.
