EntraPass Toolbars |
EntraPass dialogs display most of the following buttons. They are an easy way to access the system functions. Generally, a “hint” is displayed when you move the cursor over an button.
You may access the toolbar from any EntraPass dialog window. Icons vary according to the window that is open. Most of the buttons are similar to buttons you are familiar with and that are used in the computer industry.

The New button is used to insert new information in the system database. This may be adding a connection, a schedule, a controller, etc. |
|
|
The Save button saves all the information you have entered since the last save. Information is saved directly in the system. |
|

The Save As button allows operators to save all of the information of an existing component under a new name without affecting the original component. When using this option while issuing a card, it allows you to create a new card or save under a new card number without having to modify the information of the original card. |

The Delete button is used to delete the currently selected record. As a security against accidental deletion, a warning is displayed prompting you for confirmation. When a component is erased, all links with other items are erased as well. However, the records (archives) are kept in the database after an item is erased. |

| |
The Cancel button is used to cancel all modifications that were made since the last time a valid save was performed. The system will prompt you to confirm the operation. |
|
|

In several system windows, operators have access to graphic and animation buttons. These buttons are particularly useful when you want to display the status of a component before performing an operation on that component. The Enable graphic button is used for example in the Status menu and in the Operations menu. When enabled, this button displays the image related to the selected component (i.e.: door) and displays also the associated components (i.e.: reader). To display components in real-time, this button must be used with the Enable animation button. |
|
|
The Enable animation button: when enabled, this button automatically enables the Enable graphic button. This activates the current component (i.e.: door) and displays its status in real-time. For example, if you wish to lock a door which was previously unlocked, the reader's image (also visible) will be modified; the green dot will change to red. |
| Right-click | Right-click allows operators to enable a shortcut menu from which they can choose a specific command depending on the active menu. |
NOTE: Note: toolbar icons for features which are not activated are automatically hidden from view.
