V8 - Common icons in SOS Inventory


 

In addition to the icons on the Task bar, Operations menu, and Edit page navigation bar, SOS Inventory has a few other icons that you can expect to see in the application.

 

Help (tooltip)

A tooltip in SOS Inventoryt

In addition to the features listed on the Help menu, the software embeds help on many pages within the system. Clicking the question mark icon will open a tooltip (enclosed in a box), as shown in the screenshot above. Tooltips are most commonly found next to data fields.

 

Multitool

The Multitool is a convenient, multifunctional feature found on transaction line items and some tables used in SOS Inventory. But it is always located in the far left column of the line item or table in which it appears, as shown below.

 

The Multitool

 

arrow_rightInsert. When the blue triangle in the top left corner of the icon is selected, SOS Inventory inserts a blank line above the current line item.

 

dehaze Move. When your cursor moves into the box containing the three lines, a four-pronged white arrow appears. Click, hold, and drag the arrow to move and reorder line items.

 

arrow_circle_down Copy.  Select the encircled down arrow to copy one line item to the line immediately below it.

 

infoTIP: If another line item is directly below the one you intend to copy, use the Insert tool to add a blank line before copying. This keeps the existing line item that is below from being overwritten.

All three tools are usually available wherever the Multitool is displayed, but some exceptions do exist. One such example is the Stages table of a jobs form, which displays only the Move tool.

 

To see how the Multitool is used in action, watch the video tutorial, Using the Multitool.

 

Remove

Transaction forms and other pages that have some type of table or line-item area have adeleteicon. When selected, it removes both a line and its contents.
