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).
