CSM Desktop Client Toolbar

Use the CSM Desktop Client toolbar to quickly access common CSM operations. By default, all toolbars are located under the menu bar in the main window; however, you can independently display/hide and move/dock each toolbar so that you can display them when and where you want.

Buttons are dynamic. For example, the Lock button appears only when a record is displayed in the Main window; the Save button is disabled until CSM detects that there is content to save.

The toolbar is made up of several smaller toolbars:

  • Main toolbar: Displays buttons for performing common CSM operations.
  • Navigation toolbar: Displays buttons for navigating between records (example: Incident, Problem, etc.).
  • Action toolbars: Display buttons specific to the type of record displayed in the Main Pane (example: The Incident toolbar displays when an Incident is active). These toolbars are created as part of the Business Object definition in CSM Administrator.
  • User toolbars: Display personal toolbars that users create.
  • Arrangement/Relationship toolbars: Display buttons for working with form arrangement records (child records in a relationship with a parent record).
