The tab Main contains the group Modules,
where all modules related to day-to-day activities are located. When a module
in the group is open, each module may have a sub-group named Actions
that opens sub-modules, performs actions of prints reports.
The tab Master Data also contains a
group named Modules, but these modules relates to master data that is
not used on a daily basis. Most modules here also have a sub-group named Actions.
The Main and Master Data tabs
have a common group named File:
- Save: If the currently open module
has un-saved data, the button is enabled and can be clicked to save changes.
- Discard: If the currently open
module has un-saved data, the button is enabled and can be clicked to discard
all changes. A warning will be shown to confirm.

which modules are active and usable on these executing computer. To enable a
module, license information must be show. Licenses can be purchased at

- Unlock Module is used to unlock
projects, bills of materials, etc. When one person opens for instance a BOM, it
is locked for other users to use until it is closed again. In a situation where
the person locking is unavailable and has the module open, the module can be
unlocked. An unlock only unlocks and does not close the module on the other
