This palette appears at the top of the screen and provides an alternative method to the Volumes menu when it is necessary to move to another volume. Volumes not purchased or to which user access is denied do not appear. Hold down both the <Command> and <Control> keys to drag the bar around the screen (Macintosh only). Use the ‘Volumes Palette’ item on the Volumes menu to open and close the palette.
The left-hand button brings up an ‘About Enterprise 6…’ screen showing contact numbers and the version of Enterprise 6 that you are using. Click anywhere in this screen to put it away.
Reading from left to right, the remaining buttons launch the following volumes respectively: Diary Manager, Word Processing, Stock Control, Sales Order Processing, Purchase Order Processing, Sales Ledger, Purchase Ledger, General Ledger, Service Centre, Job Costing, Agency Manager, Communications and Data Manager.
The colour of each button reflects the predominant colour of the layouts used by the volume to which the button refers. (In versions gre`ter than 6.5 this colour may sow as a highlight only.) If the mouse is held over a button for a short time, a tool tip appears indicating which volume is represented by that button. The General Preference, Palette Help Delay, can be used control the time gap between moving the mouse over a button and the appearance of the tool tip.
The button representing the volume last selected appears depressed. The left-hand element of the palette is in fact a button whose text provides a reminder of the current volume and changes colour appropriately. It goes grey when a function is selected. This button can be used at any time to bring the current Volume menus to front, or double-clicked to bring up the Enterprise 6 screen saver.
