Outlook, the mini toolbar is a smaller version of the full toolbar found near the top of the application window. The mini toolbar appears when you highlight text and either move your mouse cursor over the highlighted text or right-click the highlighted text. Mini toolbar featuresThe mini toolbar features some of the most commonly used text editing functions, which include:
Tip Only the 2007 and 2010 version of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook include the mini toolbar feature. It can be turned off, if desired, but it cannot be modified to include different functions. Format painter, Highlight, Microsoft, Software terms, Toolbar > Toolbars Toolbars provide quick navigation to program functions in SYSPRO and are located at the top of the screen immediately under the program's description. They are fully customizable and customizations can be performed at Operator or Role level. Some of the customization options available for these SYSPRO toolbars are as follows:
Customizing toolbarsCustomize windowRight-click a toolbar and select the Customize option from the shortcut menu to perform a number of functions:
Moving toolbars and menu barsAt the far left of toolbars and menu bars is a Gripper, which consists of four vertical dots. You can move a toolbar or menu bar to a new location by clicking on the gripper and dragging the bar to a new location. Once it is where you want it located, release the mouse button and the bar will remain in this location. Alternatively you can drag it anywhere else on the screen and release it so that it becomes a floating menu/toolbar. The toolbar then disappears when the application is closed, and the next time you run the application, the floating toolbar appears in the last location from which the application was run. To restore the toolbar/menu bar to its original location you can either, manually drag it back to its original position, or use the Reset option from the Customize screen. This option will undo all changes that have been made to the toolbar(s) and menu bar(s) in this program. Creating new toolbarsWhen reducing the width of a program screen to below the original width of the toolbar, the buttons to the right are no longer visible. These can be seen in a dropdown box if you click on the Toolbar Options button. If you prefer to see all of the buttons on this reduced width screen, you can create another toolbar and move some of the buttons from the original toolbar to the new one. To create a new toolbar you need to be in the Customize mode. The available toolbars will be listed in the Toolbars tab of the Customize screen. In most cases there is a toolbar with the program description, and a menu bar. Modifying a toolbar buttonThe name, action performed and other properties of an existing toolbar button can be changed. While in Customize mode, right-click on the relevant button in the toolbar of the calling program to display a shortcut menu of additional functions that can be performed:
Add or Remove buttons on a toolbarOn standard toolbars you can show or hide the standard buttons. If you click on the Toolbar Options button and select the Add or Remove Buttons function, a list of the standard toolbars for the program are displayed. When one of these standard toolbar names is selected, a list of the standard buttons is displayed. The buttons that are currently displayed will have a check mark against them. When you uncheck one of the buttons, the matching button is hidden from the toolbar in real time. If you check one of the unchecked buttons, it is displayed on the toolbar. If buttons are moved from their original toolbar to another, they will still appear in the original list but will be displayed unchecked. If their option is checked, then they will reappear on the original toolbar, as well as the other toolbar. Buttons that were renamed appear in this list with their new names, and can be shown or hidden. Buttons added by the Operator or Administrator appear in this list, but the option to show or hide them is disabled. The Add or Remove Buttons option merely enables you to display or hide them from the toolbar. It does not add or remove the actual buttons from the toolbar. The toolbar's Customize mode must be used to physically add or remove buttons from the toolbar. See also: Notes and warnings.
