Procedure

Click the icons to perform the actions described below:

   Back / Forward
The first two arrows represent Back and Forward. This is similar to what you would find any web browser, Back button takes you to the previous page, Forward button takes you to the next page.

History
This button shows a drop-down list containing your navigation history. You can select a node from the list to move to that page.

Abort
The Abort button stops current server activity. This can be very useful e.g. if you have started a search (or populate) with wrong parameters or if you want to stop the server activity for any other reason. There's no danger of destroying data when using the Abort button but do note that if you use it when saving data the data will not be saved.

The Refresh button refreshes the data in the current page you are working with.

The Home button takes you to the start page of the application. The home page can be set up as any IFS Applications page/web page. Read more about this in  Application Options.
