NOTE: User setup: User names are created for the employees that will log into GoneClear StoreFront. Each user must be assigned a valid license and the user’s activities are restricted based on the license type.

Knowing Where You Are

One powerful aspect of GoneClear StoreFront is that it is possible to have many windows open at once, each of which may show a different document or master data record.

The Main Window

The main window opens automatically upon launching GoneClear Store Front and is the central place where you can initiate any task. Only the main window has a Ribbon along the top.

Toolbar and Ribbon

The GonClear StoreFront toolbar is displayed across the top of the main window. Clicking on each tool item will show the ribbons that lead to more choices.

The Ribbon is just below the toolbar. It is a collection of buttons that provide access to more choices. Active buttons display in color while inactive or unauthorized buttons appear in gray. To display the Ribbon, place your cursor on the toolbar and click one of the tabs. If you forget what a particular button does, simply move the cursor over the button to display a tooltip.

Quick Access Tool bar

To minimize or hide the Ribbon, position your cursor over the quick access Toolbar and right-click to see the Options menu. Choose the option "Minimize Ribbon."

The Status Bar

The status bar runs along the bottom of the GoneClear StoreFront main window and includes a number of fields.

• The bottom left-hand side displays the version of GoneClear StoreFront, the user who signed in, the name of the computer station in use and the location of the shop.
• The bottom left-hand side will also display when a user is in "sales mode".

Windows and Panel

Now that you've got a big picture of the main window, it's time to explain other window modes.

A new window will open by clicking on an active Ribbon. All windows would include the exit button to exit the active window. As mentioned earlier in this guide, it is possible to have many windows open at once.

NOTE: Windows may have sub windows to display further options (Same windows will not open twice.)

Several windows have a panel that gives access to more choices within the active window.

NOTE: Select the "Hide Panel" icon to hide the panel.
