Module

The module selected in the main menu, here the Journal as an example, takes up the most space in the window. The structure of the different modules is always approximately the same. An example:

1. Title of the module (here: "Journal").
2. Actions
   One the left side all actions on entries of the table are executed:
   - Add, edit, copy and delete entries
   - Export as PDF or Excel
   - further module-specific actions
3. Search & Filter [more]
   On the right side you'll always find the search and various module-specific filters.
4. Column with menu [more]
   Most modules display their entries as a table. Each column in this table provides various functions:
   Sort, change order, resize, show/hide, filter.
   The column menu is opened by clicking on the far right of the column title (by hovering with the mouse you'll see an arrow pointing downwards).
   The first column doesn't have a menu and cannot be moved. By clicking on this column the entries are sorted by the "natural sorting", i.e. in the order they have been entered.
5. Entries
   Entries (Journal book entries in this example) are always displayed in table form. They can be manipulated in various ways. An entry is selected by clicking on it (1 row). If an entry is selected, the corresponding actions in the toolbar above become active, e.g. edit, copy and delete. With the Shift key multiple entries can be selected: Just click on the first entry and then Shift+Click the last one and all entries in between are being selected. With Ctrl+Click an entry is added or removed from the current selection. With a right-click the context menu is displayed which provides the actions edit, copy and delete again.

   Below on the left side you can browse through the entries. Usually 50 entries are displayed per page. Buttons from left to right:
   First page | Previous page | Current page | Next page | Last page | Refresh
7. Information
   Below on the right side various information about the entries is displayed. Always on the far right side you'll find information about the amount of entries displayed and the total amount of entries (e.g. "Entries 1 - 30 of 30"). Further information can be displayed like the sum total of selected entries, depending on the module you're in.
