Using Menus

The main menu lists FIREHOUSE Software menus and options. Certain menu items and specific menu options will vary depending on what operations are being performed.

Tip: Keyboard shortcuts can be used to access menu option. Keyboard shortcuts, if available, are listed to the right of the menu option.

Below are some general guidelines for using menus:

• Menu Names denote the different functions of the menu’s options.
• Menu Text Color indicate availability. When a menu is black, you can select the menu with your mouse to display available options. When a menu is gray, the menu can not be accessed. Menus are inaccessible when you do not have sufficient security, or when the menu options can not be run. Also when an option under a specific menu is gray, the option is inaccessible.
• Menu Availability varies based on the active area of FH. Some menus appear only when the system is performing certain functions. For example, the Form menu is added to the main menu when any form is active.
