Modules and Registers

Modules

Enterprise by HansaWorld is divided into several different areas, or modules. Each module corresponds to a different department in a normal company. Each one contains the tools that the equivalent company department requires to carry out its daily tasks. For example, the Sales Ledger module contains the tools to raise Invoices, receive money and manage debt-chasing campaigns.

To change to a different module, click the [Module] button in the Master Control panel, or use the Ctrl-0 (zero) (Windows and Linux) or ⌘-0 (Mac OS X) keyboard shortcuts. The following list window appears:

Choose a module by double-clicking. If you prefer to use the keyboard, type the first few characters of the name of the module you want and then press the Enter or Return key twice. You can also use the arrow keys on your keyboard to help with navigation.

As soon as you change module, the register buttons in the lower part of the Master Control panel will change to represent the registers in the new module. If you have any list windows open (e.g. lists of settings, documents or reports), their contents will change as well.

Registers

Each module contains a number of Registers or Files, in which your data is stored. You can open each register using the buttons in the bottom section of the Master Control panel. The following illustration shows the registers available in each module. Please refer to the appropriate sections of these web pages for full details about each register.

To work with a register (for example, if you need to enter a new Sales Order), first go into the appropriate module using the [Module] button in the Master Control panel or the Ctrl-0/⌘-0 keyboard shortcut. Click the relevant register button in the Master Control panel. A browse window will open, listing all the existing records in the register (in this example, all Sales Orders). Then, click [New] in the Button Bar and a blank record window will appear in which you can enter a new record.
