Navigation buttons

The navigation buttons allow you to perform different operations. They usually have the label describing the operation attached to them and are located at the top or bottom (left/right) of your screen, depending on the type of action to be performed. For example:

• The Cancel button (bottom left) undoes your last action. A click on this button invalidates the action and directs you to the original page. In some cases, clicking this button also displays a confirmation window to confirm the cancellation.

• The Delete button (bottom left) clears the entry. A click on this button opens a confirmation window allowing you to confirm the deletion.

• The Refresh button confirms the entries and displays the data according to the selection criteria applied.

Navigation icons

The navigation icons are pictograms that allow you to take action, for example:

• The pen-icon (on the left) indicates that you can edit content. Clicking on the icon redirects the user to the page or pop-up that is the subject of the request. When these options are available, the user can edit, save or delete the entries.

• The search icon (magnifying glass on the left) allows you to choose from several options. This icon is usually accompanied by a text field that allows you to refine the search. Clicking on this icon displays a list of values.

• The assignment icon(s), as the name suggests, is used to assign a task. Clicking on this icon opens a pop-up window or confirms the assignment as appropriate.

The radio button allows you to choose a single option from several options. Clicking on this button selects the chosen option.

The navigation train allows you to perform a specific operation. When the radio button is blue, it tells you which stage you are in.
