First Steps

3.1. The user interface

The user interface includes the following components:

  • A menu bar on the top.

    Depending on the groupware configuration, there is a header bar above the menu bar. It displays the software title and your username.

  • On the left side below the menu bar the search bar is displayed. It can be enabled or disabled together with the folder tree.

  • The Folder tree can be activated on the left side.

  • On the right side below the menu bar a toolbar is displayed. It contains app specific functions and functions for selecting the view in the display area.

  • The remaining space is used for the display area.

  • Depending on the action executed, the pop-up window or the notification area will overlap the display area.

  • Text that can be clicked is displayed in blue.

  • You can also use the keyboard to access the user interface functions.

The following screen shots show the user interface, using the E-Mail application as an example.
