The SWS Window
Manitou was designed for use with the Windows platform. The Users form is selected in the Application Pane in the SWS window below:
The SWS window is divided into the following four areas:
Toolbar
Provides access to the Toolbar Menus and icons.
The Navigator Pane
Provides navigation quick links between forms and shortcuts.
The Application Pane
The Application Pane is the area on the SWS window that displays the active Manitou form. As shown above, the Application Pane is outlined with a red rectangle and displays the Users form. All data on Customers, Output Devices, Receivers, and Action Patterns are displayed here.
The Status Bar
The Status Bar provides a quick-view into Manitou's Alarm Queue by displaying a list of alarm priorities and informational messages.
Note: The clock at the bottom of the Status Bar displays the time as kept by the Manitou server. Whenever possible, individual machines should be synced to the server. If the exact time an alarm was received needs to be reported, refer to the server time display.
Pushpins
Pushpin icons are located in the upper-right corners of the Navigator Pane and Jump To menu. Pushpins allow users to select which panes display onscreen.
Pinned pushpin
A "pinned" pushpin denotes that the pane is displayed on the SWS window. To "turn" or hide the pane, click the pin icon. Once the mouse is drawn away from the pin, the frame disappears. It is now in auto-hiding mode and will now only display when the mouse is directed over it.
Turned pushpin
A "turned" pushpin denotes a pane hidden from the SWS windows. To view the pane, scroll over it with your mouse pointer. To re-pin to the application desktop once the pane expands, click the push pin switching it from "turned" to "pinned".
